In their lecture, Obayomi and Millrod will share the successes and challenges encountered when working to unify and analyze multichannel marketing data for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Data was collected from call centers, sales reps and digital media, and for the first time, were brought together into an interactive online system. Topics to be covered in their discussion include: the business imperative for change, planning a customer-centric analytics solution, examples of newly answerable analytical questions and data democratization.
