THE STORY OF AN AUDIENCE: USING DATA TO LISTEN & DELIVER

“Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking.” - Bernard M. Baruch
Marketers love to talk to buyers about products, solutions and brands. However, before talking to the market, it is important to first listen and learn. Jon Meketansky of IBM's Analytics & Data team in Performance, Programmatic & Digital Marketing will discuss how IBM has learned to listen to individuals, companies and markets and convert the knowledge acquired into data-driven, buyer-centric and outcomes-focused marketing & digital strategies. He will discuss how IBM is instrumenting experiences to capture data, leverage predictive analytics to optimize decisions and enabling automation to drive execution.
