Hot Topics
- Standards for Sales-Lift Measurement – It is critical to apply the right data and analytics to gain a true picture of a product's market position and the impact of a campaign. Equally as important, all partners in the ecosystem must agree on measurement decision points.
- Dynamic Campaign Measurement – Marketers need to know which campaign elements are most effectively activating their target audiences and be able to tie media exposure to purchase behavior. They also need real-time insights in order to make adjustments as campaigns happen and improve overall performance.
- Boosting Return on Ad Spend – By effectively harnessing big data, advanced technology and analytic know-how, advertisers can go broad and deep across disparate media and highly fragmented points of sale to get a clear picture of what ad exposures are moving the needle.
