Please join us for the second annual Dallas Chapter Digital Analytics Association Symposium on February 20th! We’re going back to college (The University of Texas at Dallas) and this year’s theme is “Revenge of the (Data) Nerds”. This half day event will be jam-packed with exciting topics including how digital analytics has evolved in recent years, what analytics solutions have done for both small and large businesses, how digital analytics affects the bottom line, tips on hiring and growing a successful digital analytics team, and much more! You’ll hear from industry experts, agency and enterprise executives and small business owners who have used data and technology to beat the odds (and their competition). We are fortunate again this year to host some of the industry’s leading speakers, so reserve your ticket now.
Featured Speaker: Jim Sterne, Founder, eMetrics Summit and Co-Founder and current Chairman, Digital Analytics Association
A New Metric for a Privacy Worried World
As marketers get close to crossing the line regarding privacy, consumers will wake up to the value of their own data. How do you get them to accept being watched, tracked, stalked, collected, scrutinized, accumulated, analyzed and popped into a segmented cubbyhole? By offering them something in return. Jim delves into the importance of marketing and advertising as a service, to protect against the day when data is not free for the taking and marketing has to up its game just to keep the data flowing. You want my data? Make it worth my while.

Panel: What's In Your Tool Box Having the right tool for the job can make all the difference, but that is only half the battle. If you don't have the right experience, expertise, and approach even the best tool will produce sub-par results. Alternately, we all work under particular restraints, and you may find yourself forced to creatively use the tools you have to get the job done. The panel will be discussing some of the most valuable tools, tips, and tricks that they use as practitioners day to day to deliver results. |
