Using Behavioral Intent to Drive Consumer Experiences

Ross Jenkins, SVP, Analytics, RAPP Collins Los Angeles
Understanding the intent behind online behavior is the key to pulling value from your online data. And the ultimate intent (a purchase, an ad impression, a download) signaled by that click or series of clicks can help you vastly improve your online marketing results. A major pharma company is quantifying, measuring, and using behavioral intent as the basis for an entirely new way to digitally market their products through advanced segmentation and targeting. Ross returns by popular demand to provide a case study that shows how you can use your web data to uncover and understand intent, identify underperforming segments, and act on behavioral insights that drive both marketing and business results.

Through the Looking Glass

Elisabeth Fosslien, Arc Worldwide
With only a passing acquaintance with Twitter, only knowing Foursquare as a playground game, and assuming "CTR" was either a stock ticker or a misspelling of "CPR", Elizabeth entered the world of online marketing analytics as Alice entered Wonderland. Armed with a BA in Mathematical Economics, an internship at the White House Council of Economic Advisers and two years as a financial analyst Elisabeth fell into the rabbit hole of tags, scripts, data integration and social media. She also found fascinating data streams, statistically significant test subjects and a unique challenge helping clients of one of the world's major agencies (part of the Publicis Groupe) with relationship strategies, campaign strategy and management, acquisition / retention / loyalty programs, predictive modeling and analytics, multi-channel contact management, direct response creative, and database strategies/designs and so much more. Elizabeth shares her journey and her view of the digital marketing analytics industry. You're sure to recognize yourself along the way.
