March 2019 - Paywalls and Paymeters
As marketers, we have access to more and more data all the time. Data about our customers and about our prospects, about the consumers who visited our website, or the ones who made an in-App purchase. We have proprietary data collected by our own companies and websites, we have third-party data from sources as robust as Google and Facebook. A vast ocean of Big Data drives retargeting platforms, look-a-like models, and CRM systems. Our panelists shared their experiences using Big Data to drive their business, helping you swim rather than sink in a sea of data.
The panel included Shahzad Abbas (Define Media Group), Jay Kirsch (ALM Media), Jalaine Johnson (Hearst Media), Beth Ulman (NPS Media Group) and moderated by Tony Silber (Long Hill Media).

Nick Giallourkis (Gilly Media) guided a conversation about how well we really know our audiences and what they want.
