Brent Walker | EVP | CMO | c2b Solutions

Without a doubt, the rise in consumerism is having a profound effect on healthcare. And healthcare companies need to take a retail approach of deeply understanding consumer attitudes, priorities, needs and communication preferences to be successful in an increasingly competitive marketplace. With over 20 years in marketing at P&G, Brent will make the case for using methods, like psychographic segmentation, that can be highly effective in healthcare to understand consumers and influence their behavior.
