How data is being used to improve monetization and user experiences is one of the hottest industry topics these days. But is data living up to its potential? At our recent VideoNuze Online Video Ad Summit, we focused a session on this question, with panelists including George Musi (EVP, Data, Analytics, Insights, Blue 449/Publicis Media), Lance Neuhauser (CEO, 4C), Bre Rosetti (SVP, Director of Strategy and Innovation, Havas Media), Vikram Somaya (SVP, Global Data Officer and Ad Platforms, ESPN) and Dan Punt (Managing Director, FTI Consulting) moderating.

The session explored the value of data for brands, using data to uncover what’s meaningful to consumers, how to deal with limitations imposed by walled gardens, how data can power subscription models, when does value of data actually start to diminish, the importance of having the right infrastructure and talent in place, evolving to data-driven decision-making, complying with GDPR and much more.
