Internal company structure or cultural constraints. Requires aligned processes, systems and people cross divisional cooperation BIG ANALYTICS Big Analytics plus Big Data equals Big Understanding Budget and resource because Big Understanding should lead to Big Action? CONSUMERS Consumers are in charge, not us New media digital, social, mobile have changed the way the consumers behave They want to choose what advertising messages they receive; but they are also inundated with irrelevant offers INTEGRATION Using only old, wellestablished tools won t cut it in the new world. Integrating old and new tools is key to success; channel integration is what the consumer wants; to make his own decision how to buy and how to engage *Ernst & Young Digital Survey
