11:00 Web Analytics Meets Behavioural Targeting
Matthew Tod, Logan Tod

The next stage for many web analytics users is using their data in real time to serve up promotions and chat invitations, to trigger email follow ups, call centre actions and direct mail. This brings web analytics to the heart of a companies marketing activity. How do you move from event based analytics to customer centred action?

11:45 Experience Management
Eileen Pevreall, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development

Getting the balance right between an information rich site and a site that wants to sell products and services means that understanding the customer and their behaviour is key.

Tim Boughton, Holiday-Rentals.com

Successful analytics means making sense of your metrics in the wider business context.

9:45 Persuasion Architecture(TM) Extensible Markup Language
Bryan Eisenberg, Future Now, Inc.

Nick Hill, O2

How do you make online analysis relevant to offline marketers focused on an offline world? The O2 website sells a lot of mobile phones. A lot of them. It services a lot of customers online.

9:45 Web Analytics in Every Decision - from Micro to Macro
Patricia Gildea, npower ltd.

Can you retrain your team and your internal clients to reflexively and instinctively ask: What does the web analytic data say? Rather than decision-making and design choices for the classic "audience of one" (making decision based on our own image, knowledge and preferences} npower have made a concerted effort to re-train themselves in analysis and problem solving processes. From the tiniest, daily micro decisions about pixel real estate battles to macro decisions on site structure and strategy. Pat says the results show progress and she's willing to share.
