The marketing world has been changing at a blistering pace. There are privacy updates that have reduced targeting and audience capabilities, the deprecation of the cookie, new advertising entrants, changes to current platforms, and so much more that you have to contend with in order to market effectively. Things will only become more complex just as the customer journey has these past few years (expedited by COVID-19).

In this KPI Cafe, DrivenIQ's CEO Albert Thompson provides a full view of what customers are doing, better ways to market to them, and more context around the value and source of data. You'll have food for thought on how to future-proof your marketing efforts powered by reliable information that you own.

In addition to the primary interview, Charisma! Communication's Laurie Halter is back to dive into "What's Going on in Auto?".

If you have any thoughts or questions, please reach out to host Dane Saville at dane@reunionmarketing.com to join the conversation.
