The future of advertising isn’t data-driven: it’s data-led
For the last decade, marketers have accepted the established wisdom that modern businesses need to be data-driven to offer services that are closely tailored to individual customers.
But despite their best intentions, many organisations are still struggling to become the ‘data driven’. The reason might be that they use the data insights from AI and analytics technologies to inform human decision-making, but not trusting the technology to make decisions itself.
Considering how large the volumes of data are becoming, and how crucial it is to be able to customise products, services and marketing techniques at scale, it’s no wonder that human judgement could be a bottleneck for data-powered decision-making.
In this session we'll discuss first-party data vs 360-degree consumer profile, the imperative use of AI and the growing privacy regulations around data

Mobile Attribution & Ecosystem
The data from a mobile attribution partner provides the necessary insight into a user’s entire journey: how they arrived at your app, how they interact with it, and how those behaviors and patterns compare and differ across cohorts. Mobile attribution ties each user to the ad they interact with, giving you full transparency for your media performance across multiple advertising channels in one unified platform. Use this conversion data for in-depth analysis that optimizes your app marketing to drive significant and sustainable growth.
In Impact Dubai 2020, we will discuss what attribution is, why is it important and what happens on this ecosystem?

Unlocking the Consumer Unconscious: Applying Metaphor in Neuromarketing
Metaphors are critical to understanding the drivers of emotion, thought and behavior. The metaphors you and your customers use to frame your products, brands and categories are major determinants of marketing success.

In this presentation, you will:
• Be introduced to key tenets of metaphor theory
• Explore your own metaphors for addressing key issues
• Avoid getting trapped in the Seduction of Differences, the notion that surface level differences among customers are more important than the deeper dimensions around which they may vary
