BRITE Is On The Horizon

This year’s BRITE Conference is scheduled to start on Monday, March 4th.

The team up at Columbia Business School always put together a fascinating program.  A lot of hits and very few fizzles over the years.

Last year BRITE and the NYAMA teamed up on a major study on Marketing in the Age of Big Data (NYAMA_BRITE_Slides_030612 copy)  Professor Don Sexton and I presented some of the key findings.  David Rogers drew on it for additional insights.  While we aren’t presenting new data at the conference this year, there will be additional findings released by Don and David in the coming months.

So here’s what you need to know:

Our presenters will speak about a range of topics such as digital strategy, the future of mobile, and global insights. Our agenda can be found at:http://www.briteconference.com/Brite13/agenda.aspx.
