The panel discussed applying a human context to data in marketing and advertising.
They explained that past data only shows certainty, while present data deals with probability, and future data focuses on possibility. Understanding these three dimensions is key to incorporating the human element into data.
The panel also discussed how social media data can provide insights into human behavior, attitudes, and neurographics. However, agencies need to go beyond demographics and psychographics to understand how data relates to how people perceive, think, feel and make decisions.
