Keynote: An Inconvenient Truth
HP's research recently uncovered the unreliability of cookie-based third-party data, begging the question whether personalization and targeting projects are even worth the effort. But what is a brand to do when it doesn't always own the point of conversion and has to build targeting and measurement models in such a constricted data environment. Freddie walks us through how HP is solving for dirty data with MTA and MMM modeling and linking it into their programmatic media optimization approach.

Panel: Multi-Touch Media Planning: Media-Mapping the Customer Journey
As data-driven, programmatic buying infiltrates all consumer touchpoints, the challenge becomes planning for a multi-touch experience. Our panel of brands and media buyers and planners share what they have learned about mapping their brands' distinct customer journeys against the plan. How many touches, when and where? In what sequence, and to what effect? How have emerging programmatic channels enhanced the media plan, filled gaps in the journey, and raised new challenges in measuring impact?

Keynote Interview: Fishing Our Way to Multi-Touch
As Keith Hung has worked across industries and brands, he has learned that "fishing where the fish are" is harder than it sounds. We explore with him how brands often chase immediate revenue at the expense of longer-term demand generation and without the proper use of first- and third-party data to get a clear view of media impact, impact vs. efficiency. We dig into the models for filling the data gaps, getting that data quickly into the right hands, and planning against leading vs. lagging indicators.

Presentation: Pretty in Programmatic: Did You See That Ad?
In the war for attention, the data-driven, performance-obsessed digital ad eco-system made creativity the first casualty. And yet we still find pockets of inspired brand storytelling that should inspire others. For the last year, MediaPost editors have encouraged marketers to Insider Summits to end each retreat by sharing some of their best creative executions, places where they are painting outside the usual lines of performance and showing that advertisers still can entertain, even inspire. Steve shares some of the best examples.
