Keynote: The Social Science Of Data – Rethinking Marketing

As generations enter new stages of the life-cycle, they bring along a predictable set of core values. Marketing messages must be adjusted accordingly. Maybe your core audience is shrinking away, and you must market to a new cohort. Simon Kuestenmarcher explains the type of marketing messages that resonate with the different groups in a light-hearted but data-driven way.
