Late last year when Dell announced its decision to create an integrated marketing and communications agency in a deal that was valued at $4.5 billion in agency billings (code named Project da Vinci), many focused on the $4.5 billion number and the 1000 new employees this agency would need.
Others listened to what Dell’s CMO, Mark Jarvis, said about the new agency and what the future of marketing will look like, "Our interest was much more in the science and the analytics behind the agency. We expect every agency to be creative, but the analytics was extremely important to us. Shareholder value to us is far more important to us than winning awards in marketing."
With the market down and marketing budgets getting cut, join us as our panelists discuss the importance of analytics – improving shareholder value – combining creative with great analytics to show the business impact of the creative work.
Our panelists include:
