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%.
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.

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?”
