The industry is calling for solutions to the measurement crisis. At Audience Measurement 7.0, global leaders will address the reasons for this conundrum, describe remedies that will move us forward, and present exclusive research findings across six key modules:
Insights on Media Behavior in the U.S. and Around the World
How is media usage changing? By medium? By country? By demographics? By psychographics? Papers can focus on any of these questions or others such as dimensions of usage, consumer motivations and comparisons of venues and/or platforms.
The Impact of Social Media
Does social media have many of the same characteristics as traditional media? What is its “value?” How can we leverage it? Your paper can address virtually any aspect of this burgeoning medium.
Mobile Platforms
What are you learning? How much measurement do we need? Given the breadth of this subject, we are affording you plenty of creative room. Here are some thought-starters: mobile and consumer behavior – in general or among segments of society; engagement, innovative mobile research techniques, and using mobile as a research tool.
Media, Measurement & Metrics
As media consumption grows even more personalized and fragmented, how do we meet the challenge of accurate measurement? We invite you to submit papers on measurement innovations.
Enhancing Research Quality
. . . has been a top ARF priority for 76 years. Whatever happened to validation? What are today’s key issues? Your paper should deal with such topics as optimizing existing methods or establishing the value of methodological innovation, changes in data collection and creating panels – virtually anything that deals with research quality.
What Have You Learned about ROI or Marketing Science?
What are new approaches to modeling, enhancing data input, and making headway with top management? What about social analytics or the impact of emotional metrics?
Throughout these two days, we will we generate paths to solving the measurement crisis. We invite you to join us whether you are a marketer, working at an agency, employed at a media company, make your living at a research company, finishing up your degree, or already have a PhD.
Join us for the world’s largest audience measurement conference June 11-12 in New York City.
