While consumers typically don’t convert after their first contact with a brand, many marketers measure as if they do.

Rakuten Marketing CEO: ‘Our Breadth Of Data Goes Well Beyond Shopper Data’

Rakuten Marketing is gunning to be a full-funnel ad stack. Acquisition has been front and center in the Japanese ecommerce giant Rakuten’s strategy, with investments in search, affiliate, display, mobile and attribution on the marketing services side. But there are different integration requirements since some of Rakuten's acquired assets are consumer-facing while others are not. “It’s complex... Continue reading »

Forrester Wave: Platforms, Commerce Companies Vie For Top Attribution Vendor Title

Considering two of the usual pure-play suspects in Forrester’s Cross-Channel Attribution Wave (Convertro and Adometry) were snapped up by AOL and Google on the very same day in May, its latest release Friday had all kinds of new implications – media neutrality and a platform mentality among them.
