• Marketers need the right data management processes and platforms in place to create a
humanized engagement model that transforms their businesses into an insights driven one
capable of effectively engaging today’s complex customers.
• How does innovation create more effective marketing programs and effectively close the
measurement gap that plagues many marketing organizations?
