Day 1, 21 October: Turning data into marketing advantage
Marketing teams are not short of data. They are short of clarity. Customer behaviour is scattered across platforms, stores, retail partners, social search, and commerce journeys. Learn how brands can cut through the noise, read demand earlier, and make smarter growth bets in a market where every channel claims to perform.
