III. PERSONALIZATION IS BROKEN: SMARTER DATA ACTIVATION CAN FIX IT (11:45 - 12:15 PM ET)

Marketers talk about personalization, yet most campaigns barely scratch the surface, relying on retargeting and lookalike modeling instead of a true understanding of the consumer. In this session, industry expert John Puterbaugh, Ph.D., VP of Advanced Media & Innovation at Quad, shares why personalization efforts fall short without the right activation strategies. Together, they’ll share how brands can unlock deeper, more dynamic consumer engagement by leveraging smarter, passion-based and behavior-driven data.
