Evening with an Expert: “Big Data….Big Relevance and ROI” 

@chicagoama #camaexpert

Overview: Today’s world is all about data, and lots of it. We create data with almost everything we do – clicks, queries, purchases, tweets and Likes. The data adds up, and it’s golden if you know how to make sense of and act on it. It’s game-changing Moneyball data, there for the taking for marketers.

Google built its empire on big data, first by increasing search accuracy and then through ad relevance. iPhone’s Siri is getting better all the time thanks to big data, as it fine-tunes answers to requests constantly.  And it’s good for business.

The use of big data has improved the performance of business on average by 26% and that impact will grow to 41% over the next three years, according to Capgemini’s study of 600 C-level and senior executives. 

Traditional marketers and entrepreneurial start-ups alike have room to benefit from the advantages that big data brings.  At this “Evening with the Expert” event, attendees will hear insights on:

1. Benefits, best practices and business impact of moving to a data-driven marketing model
2. How to leverage data and analytics to develop an effective BI and performance management strategy
3. How to define the correct metrics to accurately & successfully measure your results
4. How to assign value to various touch points along the purchasing path
