Track Description:
Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, consumer generated content, mobile, video - it's enough to make you want to either jump in and play without regard to metrics (experimentation is good!) or simply stick to your knitting and do the best you can with the traditional media you have. Neither of these is an option. With marketing dollars so tight, understanding how to determine the value of all these emerging media has become central to a properly run marketing department.

Moderator: Bryan Eisenberg, Professional Speaker, Best Selling Author, "Online Marketing Authority"

Plaza B&C

Bob Page, Yahoo! Analytics

John McKean, Center for Information Based Competition

Aleecia McDonald, Carnegie Mellon University

The U.S. government periodically veers toward throwing out the cookies with the privacy bath water with marketing metrics professionals nervously stand by. Will the public comprehend the value of opt-in cookies? Can the industry "self regulate"? Will the government recognize that web tracking has more value than merely improving conversion rates? Our panelists represent a variety of perspectives and attempt to cover the issues for those trying to make their websites privacy-friendly yet optimizable.
