"Forrester's analysis of the industry spanning a holistic range of analytic and marketing criteria can help guide companies in conducting, assimilating and realizing the value from analytics and provide a roadmap to the successful implementation of marketing mix modeling," said Doug Brooks, Executive Vice President of Marketing Management Analytics. "Over the past few years more powerful data management technologies, faster and more predictive analytic platforms combined with an understanding of how to assimilate these technologies and analytics into organizational decision-making is significantly elevating the 'actionability' and value proposition around predictive analytics," said Brooks who will speak to the Forrester report findings and the implications they have for companies with guest Luca Paderni, VP and Research Director – Marketing Leadership Practice, at Forrester, and author of Deliver Transparent Returns on Your Marketing Dollar.

"Marketers in the CPG sector have invested in media mix models for a long time. But now the demand for accountability has spread across industries — driven by the chief financial officer (CFO) and the chief executive officer (CEO) — to encompass the entire marketing mix. The latest generation of marketing mix models — powered by exponential growth in computational might and the increasing sophistication of the analytics platforms — can tackle the challenges of return on investment (ROI) accountability, media fragmentation, and data complexity better than ever," says Forrester Research*.

Paderni will discuss how the pressures on budgets and the ability to generate measurable marketing-return-on-investment (MROI) are driving not only marketing departments but organizations as-a-whole to adopt more effective ways of producing higher returns for marketing spend. Hear how predictive analytics combined with the more powerful data management capabilities and technologies available today can play a material part in companies developing sustainable competitive advantages, maximizing marketing investment and increasing shareholder value.
