The Night AI Predicted Human Behaviour Better Than The Humans: Introducing Havas Cognitive's EagleAi

On the 8th November 2016 the shock election of President Donald Trump reverberated around the world. Pollsters, political commentators and experts all missed it, declaring that there would not be a Trump victory. They were all wrong. All except one robot. EagleAi was built to analyse and understand what mattered to the millions of voters in this historic election. It was built by Havas for ITV News. And it called it right. So how did a robot predict human behaviour better than all the humans? And how much of a role does bias really play in our decisions and our actions? Lisa De Bonis, Havas London's Executive Digital Director, who chaperoned EagleAi on TV, will explain the future applications of Havas Cognitive and tell you what Tom Bradby's really like without his make up on!

Maturity models are a useful tool to prioritise marketing strategy, helping the marketer identify where they are, where they want to be and how to get there. Because so much of the responsibility for the GDPR lies with the marketing team, Steve Henderson is shamelessly stealing the Communicator Sophistication Scale to show you how to evolve your data collection processes, opt-in forms and privacy notices. Plot yourselves on the scale and hear both strategic & tactical advice to set you on your way to improve.

Adapting To The Modern Consumer Journey: Multichannel Tactics Used By Europe's Leading Brands

The modern consumer is savvy and dynamic: switching brands freely and using an increasingly complex combination of channels to make their purchases. This presents a challenge for marketers aiming to reach them at the moments that most influence their buying decisions. In this talk, Nick Fletcher will explain how the customer buying journey has evolved and will reveal the insight-led tactics leading retailers such as House of Fraser and Kurt Geiger have implemented to target their customers at the moment of purchase.

12:30

How Science Can Unify Big Data And Creative Marketing

The power of a story depends on the depth of its characters. Our influence as a brand is therefore limited by our understanding of our customers. We can’t change behaviour by understanding what customers do, we can only change it by understanding who they are as people; how they think, feel and see the world. Richard shows the capability of science to turn big data into deep character portraits that allow creative marketers to tell the most powerful stories and deliver consistent measurable performance.
