Data Goes Wide and Deep: The New Math of Marketing
Data is not just "big". In order for data-driven marketing to transform customer experiences, to help marketers do predictive modeling, and to respond to events in real time, analytics must run wide and deep throughout an organization. In our opening panel we ask marketers and agencies to share the state of data driven marketing in their organizations and the early learnings about proliferating these new sensibilities. How are they turning spreadsheets and DMP dashboards into greater customer engagement? Is this the revolution in marketing some vendors would have us believe?

Smarter, Not Bigger: Right-Sizing And Quality Checking The Data Flow For Your Goals
Bigger is not smarter, and data for its own sake is not a strategy. The first, best use of big data is deciding what scale and blend of online and offline inputs matter toward marketing goals. How are marketers learning to focus the torrent of available sources, assess the quality of each and apply analytics to get answeres to just the right questions? The art of this emerging science comes in knowing the problem you are trying to solve and which data sets will get you there. This panel turns from the strategic to the tactical. Whether it involves finding the right online ad target, crafting the right offer and projecting customer response or charting market shifts, how can marketers distinguish signal from noise? How are they ensuring that data serves the company’s needs and not the other way around?

Attribution in a Seamless World: The ROI Gods Still Must Be Served
Holistic customer views, integrated marketing and a silo-free world are great talking points, but in the end budgets still must be drawn. Someone has to determine how money gets distributed and how ROI is determined across channels. As the data inputs and communication outputs continue to fragment, attribution becomes an art that is as dark as it is necessary. Are marketing executives handling this challenge via complex algorithms, data management platforms, or guesswork and gut? Attribution is the next big challenge in a data-driven world, and no one can claim to completely solve this perennially evolving problem. But, how are marketers handling attribution right now?

How Real Time Does a Brand Need to Be, Anyway?
The now famous Oreo moment at this year's Super Bowl set every CMO's imagination whirling. Having the tenacity, creativity and corporate judgment to insert oneself into a cultural conversation that has nothing to do with your product was a bold move that suddenly everyone wanted to mimic. But it raises an important question about how marketers make use of the data, the social channels and the content marketing tools now available to them. Does a brand need or want to be in real-time conversation with the culture? Do you really need a “newsroom” that keeps you ever present on social platforms? Is rapid response even appropriate to every brand? What kind of team does it require?

Research presentation: Affinity Marketing -- It’s Not What You Like, It’s What You Love
Brand marketing is evolving at a lightning fast pace, with access to massive amounts of data that can help you find your ideal audience ... and those who will love your brand. The challenge is to make sense of all of the signals and make complex assumptions, using real intelligence and real-time feedback, to make sure your ads have an impact. Join Diya Jolly from Google for a look at the future of brand marketing and how a new “database of affinities” can help you win over your audience for the long haul.

Can I Help You? Building a One True View Of the Always on Customer
All of the data, connectivity, social involvement and technology now driving brand communications really is aimed at a very human, non-technological objective – a more intimate understanding of the customer and more personal contact with her. Now we talk about a 'customer journey' instead of a 'purchase path,' a 'consumer experience' with the brand rather than a series of interruptive 'touchpoints.' But how are all of the numbers and the inputs adding up to this so-called "one true view" of the customer? What are brands learning about them we didn’t already know? Are brands really giving the customer a new and different kind of authority than they did before? Is the customer centric view something more real than a talking point? And once we get beyond the buzzwords, how is our heightened understanding really being deployed across different products and brands?

The End of the Campaign: Can Your Brand Learn To Pivot, Iterate And Optimize?
For Don Draper it was so easy. But the days of the big brand idea, annual master plan and leisurely TV spot shoots may be over as data and the lure of optimization change the fundamentals. A customer-centric approach to brand relationships requires not only always-on feedback loops but infrastructures designed to change course, iterate a campaign, and evolve with feedback. How is the data feed changing the role and nature of messaging? Can the analytics team really talk with the creative, and will the creatives listen? How do you build campaigns from the start that accommodate inevitable iteration and change? Members of both the agency and marketing side discuss how real time, data driven marketing may turn our attention from the one “big idea” to a series of little but more effective and better targeted ones. In the process, this new sensibility could change the relationship between agency and client as well.

Research Presentation: How Numbers are Powering the Next Era of Marketing
The data that Google, Bing and Yahoo leverage turns “dumb” messages into highly targeted digital advertising. These are some of the best examples we have had of actually leveraging "big data" concepts in the marketplace. Now, the rest of marketing is utilizing the same concepts and transforming how we measure brands, engage with consumers and drive innovation. Paul Barrett of Accenture Interactive will report on the fusion of data-driven marketing with the rich streams of data arising from private, public and paid sources to predict the changes that marketers should expect in the coming years.

Marketers Or Math Whizzes? Staffing For The New Data Industrial Complex
As marketing relies ever more on real time inputs and automated outputs, everyone from product managers to creatives, media buyers to social managers will be challenged by charts, spreadsheets and algorithms. Marketing is starting to look like Wall Street circa 2000 as math Ph.Ds, probability algorithms and code jockeys became the hot properties. How do companies staff and train for marketing processes that all involve analytics and real time feedback? What are the skill sets that will be most productive? It is not just who you hire. It's also how you communicate metrics that matter throughout the organization in ways people will use rather than flee.

Do You Still Need An Agency?
As marketers’ focus continues to shift away from the great paid media gold rush of the last century and into a more nuanced balance of earned, owned and paid, the role for the traditional agency may be in jeopardy. As brands come in closer contact with consumers via content marketing and social channels, they often prefer keeping control in house where oversight and accountability are clear. The rise of data as a marketing force raises important questions over ownership, data governance and data stewardship -- where these deep mines should be kept. What is the relevance of the agency here and what do marketers now expect? Is the agency as we have known it obsolete?
