The world of measurement is changing. New streaming technologies with over-the-top (OTT) apps, connected devices and social media are expanding the media landscape. On the technology side, data management platforms, advertising exchanges and real-time programmatic technologies are revolutionizing the ad industry with data-driven and predictive ad delivery capabilities.

On the consumer side, we've been witnessing a growing generation of cord cutters and cord nevers (people who skip Pay-TV subscription), and an increasing number of OTT offers. In this new fragmented media consumption scenario, eCGlobal Labs and Immetrica will present a state-of-the art technology called Alldience, a multiplatform audience measurement solution that combines ACR (automated content recognition) and eCGlobal’s mobile community application, transforming mobile devices into "Smart People Meters", with the capability to follow TV Viewers wherever they are, measuring media consumption anytime, on all screens, all devices, and on any platform (TV, Digital, Social Media).

Digital Tracking provides behavioral data which helps companies optimize their marketing channels, reduce costs, and increase ROI by understanding where consumers are online and uncover inefficiencies or new opportunities. Digital Tracking is ideal to help brands understand path-to-purchase, or the consumers online journey; deepen consumer profiles that can inform segmentation; and help better understand the competitive landscape.

• Digital tacking provides a precise record of what a consumer is doing at any given moment, rather than a close approximation providing a clear, distinct roadmap of the route consumers take to make a purchase - helping you to understand their ever-changing buying patterns.
• Drive intelligent business strategies with rich online profiles and robust market segments developed from behavioral data.
• Brand awareness data that is collected through Digital Tracking helps companies understand if consumers are engaging with their brand, with competitors, or both.

We'll provide case study presentations that outline how when used alone, or in combination with other research methodologies, behavioral data with Digital Tracking provides the most robust insight available in the market today and drives intelligent business strategies.

The future is here - calling for Brilliance from us all: to compete, to convince and to inspire. Executive speaking and gravitas coach Caroline Goyder, with comedian-turned-researcher Will Goodhand, will equip you to unlock YOUR personal brilliance.

And relevancy requires us to understand their device, media, and communication trends. In this presentation, we will walk you through the most important consumer trends, the data those trends yield, and how that data is being actioned in market research. What's the latest on mobile, wearables, and PC use? How are consumers using email and messaging? What does today's media diet look like in terms of television, radio, and digital content consumption? Where are people going online? What types of data are people willing to share, and what worries them? What new types of data and data sets are being used? And how do you know that all of this data is representative? We will explore all of this, and wrap up with a few examples that will inspire you.
