It's no secret that many marketers cringe at the very mention of Big Data. Is it because big data is nothing more than a big buzzword and brings no additional value, or is it simply that they're terrified at the prospect of diving into all that data? Either way, big data appears to be here to stay and marketers better learn how to mine the most value from it.
How Marketers Leverage Big Data and Analytics
Be sure to tune in on Tuesday, September 17th at 10 am PDT/ 1 pm EDT/ 1700 GMT as we discuss big data and analytics. We'll be exploring whether or not marketers actually understand big data's potential value, how they mine the value of big data and the tools and skills required.
