Keynote Address: "Misleading & Myopic" vs. "Meaningful" Multi-Channel Marketing MeasurementIn this keynote, we'll uncover insights that will help marketers drive revenue growth while simultaneously increase their ROI from an accurate, holistic multi-channel perspective. To become the sophisticated and successful CMOs of the future, today's marketers will need to understand how to not only optimize ROI for each of their own channels, but how to correctly optimize the entire marketing budget and media mix by combining advances in econometric and attribution modeling. Understanding the dependency of multi-channel influence and confluence of all the varous marketing channels will also represent the buyers journey more accurately than the "siloed" single channel approach that most marketers are relegated to using today. So just how much do the digital channels including search, display, social, mobile, and email impact each other as well as their offline counterparts in print, radio, TV, direct mail, outdoor and PR (and vice versa)? We'll be addressing the answer to this question and more.
