DataContent 2013 Discusses Private Company Data: Is it Doable? Usable? Credible?

August 1, 2013 By

Private company data is known as the ”final frontier” for good reason; it’s incredibly difficult to get accurate timely information on the 8-12 million private companies. Accurate private company data is not a nice-to-have piece of data in 2013, it’s critical for today’s marketers, sales teams, application developers, data brokers and others who are leveraging this information.  

During the Private Company Data: Doable? Usable? Credible? session at DataContent 2013 conference, taking place October 15-17 in Philadelphia, find out from those who go where most fear to tread, creating and maintaining private company data, what the current best practices are, what the quality and timeliness standards are. Understand what the challenges are in collecting data that is almost impossible to find, how they monetize it, and how they differentiate themselves in the marketplace.  Then judge for yourself whether this data is worth leveraging in your business.

  • Michael Bird, President, NetProspex. Michael has over 20 years building high performance organizations across the electronic publishing and social media industries. Prior to NetProspex, Michael was the SVP of Sales and Business Development and a member of the executive team at the social media and engagement marketing pioneer, BzzAgent.

Measuring the Unmeasured at DataContent 2013

July 29, 2013 By

DataContent 2013

Big data and mind-boggling technological advances are inspiring data producers to capture and tame data in ways we have never seen before or thought possible. During the Measuring the Unmeasured session at DataContent 2013, taking place October 15-17, you will have an opportunity to learn from four companies that have created new benchmarking products. Together they will help you to look at data in an entirely new way for your company:

    •  John Crimmins, VP of Strategy for RetailNext will describe how RetailNext turns in-store behavior into data by tracking shoppers through their cellphones. It then turns this data on many millions of shopping trips into intelligence retailers can use to gauge their individual performance as well as track broader shopping patterns, conversion, and average transaction value. 
    • John Ernsberger, Co-founder, of Stella Service will discuss how Stella Service, one of this year’s Models of Excellence, rates online customer service by paying thousands of mystery shoppers daily to buy items from online retailers, call customer service teams, and ask questions; then return products. Their detailed notes are converted into a database and diagnostics tool online retailers use to continually monitor how they stack up, and get early warning of where improvement is needed.  
    • John Lawler, Chief Executive Officer of Buyers Lab will explain how Buyers Lab provides a different type of hands-on data. For more than 50 years it has run over 15,000 digital imaging products through their paces at their US and UK labs. The results of this testing are relied on for purchasing decisions, product development, competitive positioning and, sales and marketing support.
    • Mark Piening, Founder & CEO of Circle Media will show how Circle Media puts metrics around the driving force in marketing today–experiences. It measures the impact of sponsored events using what it calls “Even Performance Index”–a single number that tells what degree of cultural splash a particular event creates, and in essence, reducing buzz to a number.     

RetailNext, Stella Service, Buyers Lab, and Circle Media are only one segment of our powerful line-up at DataContent 2013. Throughout the content you will hear from data thought-leaders who know that data is different–it has its own application, business, content, and distribution processes. At DataContent 2013, we’ll examine them all and identify best practices and trends, providing you with an insider’s view of what’s working and where things are heading. Combined with great networking and our Models of Excellence showcase, DataContent 2013 is the place to be!

Our super-early bird promotion ends July 31 so register now to reserve your spot and save $600 on conference registration. When you register, enter the promotion code DCSEB in the shopping cart to receive your super-early bird savings.

DataContent 2013: Is Data YOUR Destiny?

July 23, 2013 By

Now in its 21st year, DataContent 2013, co-produced by SIIA and the InfoCommerce Group, convenes high-level information content producers to explore data and content.

Our theme this year is ”Data is Destiny” because as data producers know, if you’re in the information business, you’re also in the data business. And while data IS destiny, success is far from inevitable. It’s easy to see that there are huge opportunities in data, but it’s hard to assess those opportunities and turn them into successful new data products. That’s because data is different – it has its own application, business, content and distribution processes. At DataContent2013, we’ll examine these processes, applications, etc., and identify best practices and trends, all while providing you with an insider’s view of what’s working and where things are heading.

Throughout DataContent, attendees will hear from amazing thought-leaders, including:

  • Jeanette Horan, Chief Information Officer, IBM ─ Keynote Speaker
  • Neal Goldman, Chairman & CEO, Relationship Science ─ Keynote Speaker
  • Michael Bird, President, NetProspex
  • David Chun, Founder & CEO, Equilar
  • Keith Cooper, CEO, Connotate
  • Charles Dolan, CTO & Co-founder, Sequoia Waste Solutions
  • John Ernsberger, Co-founder, Stella Service
  • John Felahi, Chief Strategy Officer, Content Analyst
  • Len Gilbert, VP of Business Development, Yodle
  • Russell Glass, CEO & Co-founder, Bizo
  • Chris Golec, Founder & CEO, Demandbase
  • Sam Hamadeh, Founder & CEO, PrivCo
  • Rob Heiser, President & CEO, Segmint
  • James Hobson, COO, OnDeck Capital
  • Eric Irani, Associate, S&P Capital IQ
  • Vinit Khanna, Chairman of the Board, OKS Group
  • John Lawler, Chief Executive Officer, Buyers Lab
  • Mark Leher, COO, Wand, Inc.
  • Matt Manning, President, Information Evolution
  • Gerry Mintz, Managing Partner, Percepta Partners
  • Mark Piening, Founder & CEO, Circle Media

Register now to reserve your spot as our early-bird rate expires September 9.

Hands-Free Database Access from Vivino

July 22, 2013 By

Post by: Russell Perkins, ICG

There is a cool new app out of Denmark called Vivino, that besides being just plain useful, also offers a great working example of mobile visual interaction with database content. The heart of the technology is image recognition software that can match the photograph of a wine label to Vivino’s standing database of over 450,000 wine label images.

The data can be used strictly for educational purposes, as a way to learn more about a particular wine. At the same time, its point-of-sale implications are huge.

IDG-Linkedin Partnership: Re-Defining Publishing?

June 28, 2013 By

Post by: Russell Perkins, ICG

Russell Perkins, ICG

Just yesterday, the major business publisher IDG, through its Custom Solutions group and its ComputerWorld, InfoWorld, CIO and CSO media properties, announced a partnership with LinkedIn to create “targeted marketing opportunities for b-to-b brand marketers.” LinkedIn’s role in this partnership, according to Folio, is to “be responsible for promotion, content distribution and member recruitment.” Yes, LinkedIn is going to be supplying both audience and content distribution. What IDG is bringing to the table is the advertiser, the content and management of the group.I’m not disparaging this deal; indeed it has hints of brilliance showing through. But what intrigues me is that LinkedIn, a professional network and data content company, can now so effectively perform most traditional publishing functions.
