You have a fear problem (and maybe a time problem.)\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1721\">While many brands believe their challenges lie in technology or channel complexity, the reality is often different. In this session, Mike will explore how organisational hesitation, risk aversion, and time pressures are the real blockers preventing brands from fully embracing personalisation and omnichannel strategies.<\/p><p data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1944\">He will share practical perspectives on how marketing leaders can move past these barriers, make more confident decisions, and unlock performance by aligning strategy, data, and execution across the full customer journey.<\/p><p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2112\">Our team looks forward to engaging with industry peers, sharing
