AI exploded onto the marketing landscape in 2023. But success in paid media has relied on mastery of machine learning & AI for years. Today’s performance imperative is to train, bound, and deploy machine learning in many different contexts with your highly curated data - with a strong strategic approach underpinning your tactical choices.

The risks and opportunities with first-party data are as big as they have ever been.
