Through several examples, Debora will reflect on how architecture can serve to expand, question, and overcome the norm; moving away from conventions and established methods to explore spatial, material, technological, and typological potentialities.

How Brands Harness Location for Omni-Channel Success
How Brands Harness Location for Omni-Channel Success
Sonoma Valley Room
The biggest barrier for modern marketers seeking to adopt a true “people-based” marketing strategy is not a lack of data -- but instead, the much more complex issue of data connectivity. Media-centric silos, variable data quality, and the inability to “democratize” data access for usage in omni-channel strategies is ultimately what hinders us from executing on the promise of what is "data-driven." In this session, join the facilitators as they dive into how to evaluate new data sets, important considerations involved in fusing legacy data sets to location data and hear case studies from QSR, Auto, Retail and more detailing performance influence from 20-400%.

What Does Mobile Data Tell You About Consumer Intent?
What Does Mobile Data Tell You About Consumer Intent?
Kenwood 1
You know that clicks are not the only indicators of intent. Sometimes we hover over our mobile devices – breezing by a call-to-action now with intent to purchase later. Sometimes we have no intentions to purchase now, but our interest is piqued, and we convert later down the road. As marketers, we need to evolve beyond the clicks to understand true human intent. The challenge lies in recognizing, measuring, and acting on granular data that reveals who is engaging with your product in real time. In this session, marketers will be challenged to understand impact beyond “Did my ad have a chance to be seen?” into a deeper discussion on “How do I know my ad impacted my customer, and what are the next steps?”
