The End of the Firewall

Enterprises are questioning whether private networks and stacked firewalls are still worthwhile investments. A newer approach operates on the open internet with Zero Trust, eliminates perimeter complexity, and reframes cybersecurity as a business performance metric for boards and audit committees. This is a closed-door, peer discussion, not a lecture. We’ll examine the promise and its pitfalls: Are the promised savings significant, or are they too good to be true? What risks do you introduce? How does this collide with your installed base, legacy OT, entrenched processes and team competencies, and how do you overcome that without breaking operations or credibility with the board? Two senior leaders from global companies will spark the dialogue with lived experience: Kurt De Ruwe, CIO AkzoNobel Frank Bolata, CIO Syensqo

AI: The Great Illusionist

How to lead responsibly when technology can deceive better than a human?  AI’s ability to shape our perceptions and create new realities is becoming increasingly sophisticated. While it opens significant opportunities, it also carries risks. What happens when AI goes beyond data and algorithms to influence - or even deceive - our senses? How does this change not only our understanding of reality but also the foundations of trust, creativity, and truth in business? AI isn’t just transforming business, it is altering how we experience and interpret everything around us. From AI-generated deepfakes to personalised experiences designed to influence behaviour, the line between truth and illusion is increasingly blurred. This event combines a roundtable discussion among peers with a hands-on sensory workshop, where you will experience illusions through sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. Through these experiments, we will confront the ethical dilemmas that arise when AI has the power to fabricate realities and influence decisions.

How Goosehead Insurance revamped Its marketing strategy & boosted performance with Jasper

Goosehead Insurance uses Jasper for content creation and distribution to manage their marketing campaigns. The results include increased content output, ROI, and speed of delivery while maintaining control of brand voice.

“Jasper enables me to create at a pace that ensures I can attend to the variety of my responsibilities and still achieve our goals. I have time to analyze performance, rather than spending it all on the creation itself.”


Leslyn Felder
Marketing Associate
 
 

Facing the Challenge of Scaling Marketing Production

In an increasingly competitive insurance landscape, Goosehead Insurance, an independent personal lines insurance agency operating throughout the United States, found itself facing a significant hurdle: how to scale up its marketing production without compromising on quality or overburdening their small and recently established marketing team. With a need for fresh, engaging content that could capture their target audiences, Goosehead turned to Jasper - an AI-powered content creation and distribution platform - to transform their marketing approach.

Jasper: The Game-Changing Solution for Goosehead Insurance's Marketing Efforts

Seeking an innovative, efficient solution for content creation, Goosehead Insurance opted to employ Jasper's AI-driven capabilities to optimize its marketing program. The platform offered an extensive suite of features that enabled Goosehead's marketing team that includes Leslyn Felder and Jaycie Nesbit, to swiftly create and disseminate a wide variety of content. This included blog articles for the company's online learning center, email campaigns targeting potential and existing clients, and repurposing social media content to maximize reach and engagement.

Efficiency, Productivity, and Performance Gains

Jasper's strategic integration into Goosehead's marketing workflow led to a substantial increase in productivity and allowed the company to witness several performance gains. Goosehead observed the following impressive results:

 

Accelerated Content Creation

In the first quarter of the year, the marketing team wrote 44 new articles for their learning center blog—a volume possible because of Jasper. The platform allowed them to ramp up their content production speed, enabling them to consistently publish five articles each week. From this material, the team rapidly created social media posts to support their website traffic goals. Leslyn said, “Jasper enables me to create at a pace that ensures I can attend to the variety of my responsibilities and still achieve our goals. From one piece of content, I can easily develop derivative assets and have time to analyze performance, rather than spending it all on the creation itself.”  

Improved Email Engagement

Goosehead observed a remarkable 22% click-through rate increase in email campaigns utilizing Jasper. The team attributed this improvement to the platform's ability to craft and test compelling content that resonated deeply with recipients, enticing them to engage further.

Instead of struggling to customize content for three disparate audiences, Jaycie commented, “I took concepts that worked in past campaigns, assigned specific tone and style to each audience and Jasper created the appropriate outputs for me.” With Jasper Brand Voice and email templates, Jaycie can now work rapidly with control across separate segments, writing 30 emails a month. Added personalization and segmentation contributed to a 20% increase in revenue between Q3 and Q4. “Jasper allows me to move more quickly and more confidently for each of my target segments; I can go to market faster, test messages faster, and make improvements faster.”  

Intensive Website Revamping

Leveraging Jasper's capabilities and with input from their Customer Success Manager, Goosehead's marketing team was able to overhaul their franchise-facing website and achieve significant time savings. Using content improver and paragraph generator in Jasper, the team updated this website to be more relevant to their franchise audiences. Since the content was adjusted for a new audience, it took a complete revision for every aspect of the website. Jasper helped develop benefits statements, FAQ documents, differentiation copy and market analysis to bring depth and specificity to the multi-paged website. As a result, Goosehead achieved an impressive 87% increase month over month in visibility for their franchise pages. This invaluable partnership helped elevate Goosehead’s brand and drive business growth.

A Symbiotic Partnership for Continued Success

The successful integration of Jasper's AI-driven solution into Goosehead Insurance's marketing program has had a positive impact on the team’s productivity and performance. With the help of their dedicated customer success manager and access to the platform's features and capabilities, the marketing team could effectively scale their operations and establish themselves as a department that was creating new effective content and generating revenue for the business. Leslyn puts it best; "We are a small but mighty team, and Jasper adds the muscle power to make us mightier."
