II. THE FUTURE OF CROSS-PLATFORM MEASUREMENT (11:50AM - 12:30PM)

As the "father of modern management" Peter Drucker once said, "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it." That's bad news for modern marketers, who have struggled to accurately measure cross-channel engagement since the internet fragmented the media landscape at the dawn of the 21st Century. This industry-wide problem needs an industry-wide solution, and the ANA's own Nathalie Bordes, EVP of Measurement for Marketers has been charged with creating one. Join us as we discuss the wide-reaching implications of marketing measurement challenges, and the steps we need to take as an industry to create a better tomorrow.
