"Big data killed the quant research star" - or did it?
In a world of big data, client budgets for quant research may be under threat. Why recruit or use a traditional research panel when the in house data can tell the story? In this session, a client will share their views and our two agency speakers will pitch their innovative approaches to delivering cost effective and valuable insight on a quant scale.
Demonstrating how recruiting respondents through the Data Management Platform (DMP) used to support programmatic buying can deliver audiences hard to reach through the traditional panel approach.
