Consent Based Marketing - How can data protection and marketing work together successfully
In marketing, the GDPR has developed from a mere regulation to be complied with into an important strategy driver. "Consent-based marketing" - that sounds unusual at first: Aren't marketing and data protection two different interest groups? At first glance, yes, but in the long run, responsible handling of data is an important factor in gaining customer trust – and thus the driving force for growth and market differentiation.
In this presentation, we want to take a closer look at the customer-centric approach for marketing teams and show how it can be implemented in practice. What needs to be considered, where are the stumbling blocks? We will provide solutions for these and other questions around the topic of "Consent Management" in marketing.
