Big Data And The Modern Brand Marketer
Data is more than a database, a DMP and a few proselytizers of this next big thing within a company. In order to get over the buzzword, marketers have to help their companies think beyond the traditional silos and departmentalized operations that characterized corporations of the last century. A consumer-centric, data driven approach to marketing only works when a new sensibility informs all aspects of the organization. How are marketers truly integrating these new data inputs throughout their companies, and having them inform everything from ad spend to product development, future investment to hiring practices? Smart integration requires a multi-pronged approach that aligns technology, company teams, the various channels and then the data to work toward common marketing goals. We start OMMA DDM from the brand’s perspective and how they are using data to drive consumer engagement and growth.

Keynote: Beyond Data: Building A Deeper Understanding
Businesses often use the little black box of data to help with a tactical play in a specific problem. It feels good when it works. Nothing else seems to matter ... but then they're lost in situations where they don't have it. But when a business builds a genuine, deeper understanding of its consumers it gains an advantage every day and across every play it makes. Drawing from his experience leveraging data at one of the world’s largest music publishers and now a leading book brand, David Boyle shows the importance of moving away from thinking of data as a little black box and on to building a deeper understanding of consumers as people throughout your business.

How Much Is That Data In the Window?: Establishing Value And Quality for Online and Offline Data
Like every other hot property in the digital age, data has grown a new marketplace in very short order. How does one survive these Wild West days? How is quality being established and determined both by the market and buyers? Now that the land grab over data is waning, how are prices being established and value being attributed? Determining and weighing the relative value of offline, online, transactional, customer service and other inputs is the new dark art of data driven marketing. How much is that data in the window? And does it have a good pedigree? We ask how marketers are making those calls.

This Revolution Will Be Personalized: Turning Databases Into Real Conversations
The real marketing goal for much of the big data revolution involves being able to find and efficiently address ever narrower audience niches with more highly relevant and personalized messaging. With so much attention being paid to the inputs in the data marketplace, the next stages must focus more on the output, contouring messaging to meet individual customer needs at the right time and place in through the right channel. We ask how big data is changing little conversations, the ones that really matter, with your customers. Are the systems yet in place for the kind of highly personalized and nimble real time messaging that the big data revolution promises?

Information Is Responsibility: The New Art and Science of Data Governance

How are companies erecting policies, establishing internal workflows, and communicating with consumers government and partners about how they are keeping big data from swallowing the company’s reputation? Marketers are increasingly incorporating data governance into every aspect of marketing – from content curation to marketing intelligence to digital messaging.

Marketers Or Math Whizzes?: What Troops And Training Does The Data Revolution Require?
All the data in the world won’t do your company any good if the eyes of your staff simply glaze over at the site of a charter spreadsheet. Proliferating data throughout the organization involves new approaches to staffing, a new set of communication skills and a host of new tricks for getting people at long last to pay attention to analytics. Making data matter in a company is as much a people problem as it is a technology or culture problem. What policies are now being put in place to anticipate more data-driven marketing, and how are companies making analytics part of the everyday workflow and decision-making process?

What Value Is Being Added In The New Data Supply Chain?
Looks like we need a new Luma Chart. Like every trendy category before it “big data” has bred its own tier of acronym-toting solutions providers. The data driven marketing economy is evolving a new supply chain that includes first party and third party data, online and offline providers, DSPs, DMPs, and multiple solutions pieces in between. In this case we bring together various pieces of this new data economy to explain their place in the supply chain. What is the value add each link in the chain brings to the table? How do they integrate with one another in ways that actually drive marketing with data? How are these companies differentiating themselves, adding and justifying the costs they add to the marketing budgets? Are we seeing these suppliers begin specializing in special segments? And how and when will this land grab for data and marketer share shake out. How will marketers maintain control, security, continuity over their most precious long-term asset, data, in a wild west of start-ups?
