Description

Question the Data / Follow the Money - Is Marketing Ready for AI?
Featuring Konrad Feldman, CEO of Quantcast + Will Luttrell, CEO of Amino Payments

Marketing powered by artificial intelligence will be only as good as the data it uses. Are we ready to unleash the algorithms?

Some say no. Marketers are not seeing sales growth despite throwing more and more money at building tech stacks and crunching petabytes of data.

Others say the answer is more technology. Clean up the data with blockchain and use AI to drive efficient results.

The stakes are high, the investment large. Change is risky, hard to execute, hard to undo. Are we ready to ask the big questions?

Konrad Feldman, CEO of Quantcast, says marketers need to be. He’ll explain why brands must question everything in the AI era to achieve improved results.

Our other keynote looks to blockchain to provide answers. Will Luttrell, one of the founders of Integral Ad Science, will tell us the story of founding Amino Payments to bring Blockchain transactions to programmatic media buying.

Presentation: How Will Brands Grow in the AI Era?
Konrad Feldman, co-founder and CEO of Quantcast

The buzz around artificial intelligence has people wondering: how exactly will this impact our industry and bring value to our business? Over the last decade brands have heavily invested in marketing and tech but are still struggling to grow their business. The digital age has introduced plenty of complications and adding artificial intelligence to the mix could make things worse unless we tackle the fundamental issues.

Now’s the time to slow down and challenge conventional wisdom: how do you define a target audience? What’s worth measuring? Quantcast CEO & Founder Konrad Feldman will discuss how to disrupt the status quo so brands can benefit from the AI revolution.
