Keynote: Getting Personal: The Power, Pitfalls and Potential of Behavioral Targeting Today
Behavioral Targeting has evolved quickly to become an incredibly important part of the overall marketing mix. With strong front and back end results to confirm the power of Behavioral Targeting, today’s smartest technology providers and marketers are examining ways to expand and scale the success seen thus far. As powerful DSPs become more prevalent and technologies start to allow for the cross channel tracking and optimization of behavioral data between digital display, video, mobile and social, the possibility of success seems even bigger. While most indicators show Behavioral Targeting will continue to grow exponentially for years to come, the debate regarding online consumer privacy rages on, causing marketers to keep an eye on our industries’ ability to self regulate and the impact self regulation has on lawmakers in Washington. Should the Kerry or Rockefeller bill pass into law, it could mean the end of days for Behavioral Targeting.

Keynote: The Evolution of Data and Promise of Analytics
In an economy that has increasingly become more digital and complex, data is playing a bigger role in how goods are being bought and sold online. Data has become the new currency in this information economy and continues to transform society much in the way oil did for the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 20th century. Analytics promises to be the next game changer for industry denizens. Marketers and agencies have been looking at data through a myopic lens. Data must go beyond cookie targeting and should color all forms of marketing and personalization – online and offline – to help gain meaningful insights and connect the dots for marketers and agencies. Marketers need to apply targeting intelligence to other cross media touch points like TV, print, radio, Internet, video, search and social, to help marketers and agencies better understand and reach audiences. In order to truly uncover the value of this data, it all boils down to having access to analytics.

Agency Workshop: Which Data Matters to Your Client?
Media buyers and planners are overwhelmed with increasingly complex datasets from classic behavioral tracking to new layers of social, e-commerce and semantic analyses to determine consumer mindset and intent. As the piles of data mount, how much of it are the buyers and planners actually using for campaigns and how are they determining its value and relevance to marketers’ goals? If, as the saying goes, data is the new media, how effective are these emerging methods of audience buying…really? We ask the buy side executives most experienced in the new dark arts of digital targeting to speak from example and share what is and is not working for them and their clients in the new data economy.

Search and the New Retargeting
Combining the targeting precision of search with the inventory and creative breadth of display, retargeting users off of search has become an increasingly attractive way for SEM to extend its reach and efficiency. When a keyword query qualifies a user for display retargeting a marketer can combine the strengths of search and display. When executed wisely, search retargeting can lead to display efforts that can customize creative according to keyword combinations, touch the consumer at their moment of heightened intent and even deliver back to the marketer important data about their search strategies. But how does this multi-disciplinary approach work best, and what does it require of the traditionally siloed agency? How do marketers determine the best keywords to use in these campaigns and what do they know about the sources and quality of the data? Our panel from across the search retargeting value chain queries this emerging model for its power and its pitfalls.

You Might Like This…The New Age of Discovery in Recommendation Nation
Marketers aren’t the only ones getting overwhelmed with data sources. In the one-click-away Internet publishers and retailers are struggling to increase engagement by helping users discover more of what they want and need without going elsewhere. The recommendation engines of old now have the jet fuel of Facebook ‘Likes,’ the social graph and now mobile geo-location added to the blend. And now the art and science of discovery has expanded far beyond retail and into video, devices and content. Some publishers use third party engines to help extend their content reach into other Web sites, while others are leveraging their own engines to target ads for clients. And now personalized recommendation engines are emerging in video and mobile platforms to help consumers discover products and resources. But how does this art and science of discovery ultimately help content providers, e-retailers and the marketers who work with them better understand their audiences and craft smarter ad and content distribution strategies in the cluttered digital environment?

Privacy Goes Public: Data, Security and Brand Reputation
The great privacy and data protection debates no longer involve just ad tech companies consumers never heard of and watchdogs only journalists call. How and what are Apple and Google tracking on my phone? Which of my social activities is Facebook sharing with whom? How much of my and my kids’ personal information did the hackers of Sony’s massive network get? And how in the world did thieves lift PIN numbers from Michaels? And Visa and Master Card want to do what now…turn our phones into credit cards? Data security and privacy concerns have conflated, legislators have their hair on fire, and high profile consumer brands now appear in unflattering headlines. And all of these concerns become more critical as they move onto the most personal, high stakes device of all, our phones. Are data and security now brand issues? How are reputations now at risk as the harsh light of media and politics move to data? What do marketers, security and data pros need to do to serve the larger interests of their clients in the new age of transparency?

Behavior Meets Brand: Can High Tech Measure and Manage High Level Attitudes, Motives, Brand Connections?
It all started with tracking “purchase intent” and targeting ads to close the deal and make the sale. Increasingly, marketers are looking to data providers and behavioral targeting for a broader range of tasks, including lifting brand metrics on campaigns, tracking consumer attitudes towards a campaign, understanding the purchase lifecycle of consumers to enhance CRM and even drilling into psychological motivation to segment and target new audiences. Behavioral data has a new value in the marketplace: offering higher-level views of customers, campaign effectiveness and targeting. How are these new uses of data helping marketers get smarter about what they do and perhaps changing the business and product offerings of the data and targeting companies themselves.

The Moving Target: Grilling the Mobile Providers
The next great frontier for behavioral targeting and user data is mobile, maybe. Combine usage patterns with location information, and you can put clients within inches of a consumer’s purchase. Or so the theory goes. Mobile media promises true one-to-one marketing and point-of-sale presence, but what really is possible here now and in the forseeable future? Mobile is many platforms working across multiple networks and countless different devices. What kind of audience segmentation and scale really are available in such a fragmented environment, or is the targetability of mobile just a lot of hype? In our traditional OMMA Behavioral Grill the Vendors session we turn the heat up on the marketing trade’s latest darling – mobile – and cut the fat from the meat.
