Panel: The OTT Calculus – Metrics Across the New Grid
So many OTT providers, so many platforms, so many apps, so many incompatible segments for targeting and measurement metrics. What is a planner to do?

Case Study: Magnetizing the Mall
Combining location data with smart profiling, Mall of America has learned to pull its most likely fashion, holiday and seasonal shoppers back through programmatic and social channels.

Case Study: Listening to OTT
With over 100 Ashley Homecare stores in 31 DMAs, DSG is using the OTT channel to extend its TV buy into every local niche and cranny. But as Nicole explains, not all OTT markets are creative equal. Scale, targeting, penetration, and impact vary widely place to place, and often in unexpected ways. We explore how one retailer is navigating a post-cable world that is often complex and confounding but impressively effective when you get it right.
