    Predictive analytics and a first-party data strategy with Alan Gilleo, Leap Group

    Predictive analytics and a first-party data strategy with Alan Gilleo, Leap Group

    Anyone listening to this show has heard us talk quite a bit about AI’s impact on marketing and the customer experience. We’ve covered a pretty broad cross section of approaches, but as you’ve likely heard on this show and in many of the other places you get information, it seems like generative AI is getting a lot of the attention these days.
    While our discussion will likely touch on Gen AI, today we’re going to focus more on predictive analytics and predictive modeling, another area of AI that is just as powerful (if not moreso in some cases) as the other types of artificial intelligence tools available. And specifically, we’re going to talk about using predictive analytics to better succeed in a first-party data world.
    To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Alan Gilleo, CMO at Leap Group.

    AI & Fragmentation with Afif Khoury, SOCi

    AI & Fragmentation with Afif Khoury, SOCi

    The total number of solutions in the martech Lumascape has grown to more than 11K in 2023, representing almost 7,000% growth in the space in just 12 years. The result of this growth has created too many data silos bringing massive challenges in integrating data and cleaning data to use for analytics and AI.
    Today we’re going to talk about data and platform fragmentation and how there is a risk of this worsening as new AI platforms and data sources are adopted. So what do marketers do to balance the need to try new things while not risking fragmentation? 
    To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Afif Khoury, CEO of SOCi.
