Currency Conversion
While Nielsen remains a key player, its long-standing monopoly in TV ratings and the brand media buying and sales space is no more. Performance marketers have long used other methodologies to assess their success, but as streaming and CTV providers gain strength — and an array of data and measurement providers have popped up with solutions for marketers — the concept of a single currency ruling the ad buying world is gone. What should marketers be looking for in ad measurement? A panel of currency and ad measurement experts weigh in during this exclusive roundtable.

The Attribution Whisperer
Presented by the Women’s Leadership Council
How can you best capture consumer data across all channels to ensure each interaction is properly weighted? Attribution! It’s a science: marketing tactics need analytical determination for contribution to sales or conversions. Transactional revenue in performance marketing is particularly important to attribute so that marketing teams can determine which campaigns, channels, and messages have the strongest impact on a consumer’s decision to purchase. Regardless of traditional, digital, or omnichannel initiatives, the insights allow customization to not only improve ROI but also to allocate resources to create more targeted and effective campaigns. This session promises to be disruptive, as attribution continues to baffle the best of us.
