CommerceNext returns "in real life" next week, and we’re excited to come together in person to meet with this community of leading retailers, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands and innovative tech companies.

Taking place in New York City on Sept. 28-29, CommerceNext IRL will bring together over 600 attendees and 80 speakers from companies, such as Wayfair, Patagonia, Sur La Table, Fender, Fabletics and more.

Rockerbox will be hosting a roundtable on Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 11:20 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET. Titled “The Modern Marketing Stack for a DTC Brand” and moderated by Sara Livingston, Head of Platform and Solutions at Rockerbox, we’ll discuss how to:

  • Overcome the biggest hurdles in evolving your marketing channel mix
  • Build the right marketing technology stack as your brand grows
  • Align your martech stack to your org structure to set up your team for success

And if you’re attending the event and want a 1:1 consultation, schedule a chat with Sara for expert advice on everything from diversifying your channel mix and measuring OTT and Linear TV to managing seasonality and prepping for Black Friday.
