  • #15 The IAB Data Center of Excellence recently conducted a survey with 120 IAB special interest council members, both B2B and B2C, that focused on dicigal media and the evolving role of Audience Insight.
  • #16 As you can see here, cross-device audience recognition is the number one topic expected to command the most attention in 2016.
  • #17 What’s standing in the way? The top two reasons are… The net-net is that while there are still technological challenges and a need for further workforce eductation, data-driven advertising is clearly front of mind for the industry – BOTH B2B AND B2C/.
  • #18 17
  • #19 Nani Notes: We will talk about how to build the initial list in a slide or two When we first did this at Demandbase, Marketing developed the first list, but then we sat down sales rep by sales rep to vet the list Within Salesforce, we did three things: -First was to indicate on the account whether our predictive engine marked them as qualified accounts -Then we added two check boxes to empower the sales team to make edits: we know that data isn’t perfect and that we need to get feedback from out in the field about what accounts are best for their patch/vertical etc. -The combination of these means that you have a final target account list IT was a big process, but now that we audit quarter over quarter, the process is much smoother
  • #20 What’s standing in the way? The top two reasons are… The net-net is that while there are still technological challenges and a need for further workforce eductation, data-driven advertising is clearly front of mind for the industry – BOTH B2B AND B2C/.
