Marketing is the New UX Frontier
User experience is traditionally thought of in the context of a service or product experience. Today, the marketing department is knocking on UX’s door to come out and play. Amrita Chandra is one of those marketers, and she’ll talk about the forces that are creating tighter connections between UX, Product, and Marketing teams. Drawing from her own experience as well as those of other startups, Amrita will show how UX and Marketing teams can work together, explain the connective tissues between these functions, and demonstrate how user experience design methods can be applied in a marketing setting.
