  • Building a D2C Platform to Accelerate Growth: Hosted by Stephen Derbyshire, vice president, solutions, EMEA at Merkle, and Alexandra Gaillard, head of digital marketing at Signify, this session will analyze how the first full-stack deployment of Adobe Experience Platform enabled the build of a direct-to-consumer (D2C) platform to transform customer experience for Signify’s Philips Hue and how brands can build a multi-channel D2C platform, accelerate delivery, and value realization, as well as why an agile way of working is key to unlocking growth.
