NEW YORK, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ken Wincko, Senior Vice President of Marketing at PR Newswire, will be presenting on Wednesday, April 15, at The Marketo Marketing Nation Summit 2015 in San Francisco.

"Revving the Revenue Engine: PR Newswire's Secret to Demand Generation Success" will discuss PR Newswire's successful development and implementation of an innovative demand generation approach that effectively ends the traditional, ad hoc campaign model.

"In today's digital age, buyers are in control," Wincko said. "The majority of B2B and B2C customer buying decisions start with the exploration of expert and social content, and follow a non-linear path, which requires a radical shift in the approach marketers must take in how they engage buyers. We have developed a buyer-centric, multi-channel perpetual marketing program that seeks to educate and serve our clients by providing best-practice content that meets their unique needs over time."

This session is at 11:40 a.m. PT, and will cover:

• How PR Newswire developed a channel agnostic content approach to Engage, Nurture and Convert buyers throughout the buying journey;
• How PR Newswire optimizes every element of its Demand Process;
• PR Newswire's realignment across people, process, content AND technology, which enabled the company to shift its use of Marketo from a tactical email 'tool' to a strategic, multi-channel growth engine;
• How PR Newswire achieved 113% of its objectives within the first 30 days of launch and significantly surpassed baseline industry conversion rates.
