Apartment Marketing World Conference - AMW2020

The #AMW2020SD Experience

Actionable Content

AMW is not your average apartment marketing conference; we are leveling up and will accelerate creative marketing ideas. The goal is to explore ideas, products, and services that drive results for today’s busy apartment marketing professional. We help to remove the noise and get down to what works. If you are a marketing professional overseeing assets for student housing, senior or active living, or other various product types, we’ve got you covered. We realize marketing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Discovering fresh ideas through brainstorming and networking with industry peers and some of the most talented vendor partners in the industry will provide a fresh perspective that might be what you need to propel your assets to the next level.

Plan on a comprehensive dive into these core areas:

TRAFFIC: We will dig deep on the popular topic of the ILS (internet listing service) options versus Google and social platforms. Specialists will share what’s new with search marketing/optimization from PPC, SEO Organic and Paid, and Content Marketing.

CONVERSION: Discover what’s working – AI & Machine Learning, its impact on customer acquisition and massively improving productivity, tying goals/analytics to conversions. Create advertising that helps convert through visual presentation and storytelling.

EXPERIENCE: The customer experience is being impacted by AI products and services, learn from the experts who are applying AI today and what’s in store for the future. Reputation management and reviews, yes, the human element still matters.

Marketing Professionals overseeing large and small marketing teams, with big and smaller budgets, will share real-life stories and experiences and give you tested, proven tactics for getting real results. You can choose to be a leader or a fast follower, don’t be left behind.

Inspiration

Our goal at AMW2020 is to not only get you up to speed on what’s working now but also to inspire. You’ll leave with a renewed motivation to take your marketing efforts to the next level.

All of our guest speakers are results-focused and will deliver compelling content based on trends, best practices, what’s working today, and what the future holds. Even better than that, you’ll take away the HOW of their success, and a plan for how you’re going to get your company or communities there too.
