Company: Agilone

Speaker: Omer Artun, PhD, CEO

A customer receives your email, does a keyword search, but ultimately buys in-store. Can you see this customer behavior and attribute the relative contribution to each marketing touch point? You can't truly optimize your marketing spend until you can. Revenue attribution is the foundation of marketing and impacts spend decisions, merchandising, personalization, and campaigns. If your data management solution can't bridge all online and offl ine channels and leverage advanced mathematics, you can't correctly link purchases to marketing actions. Omer Artun, PhD., CEO of Agilone, will share the latest thinking on how companies should tackle revenue attribution to increase ROI.
