De-coding the 4 M's: Methods, Measurements, Messages & Media
Constant change is challenging the ways in which we capture and measure information. Consumers are fluidly moving from one medium to another, seeking content without boundaries. To meet consumer demands, magazines provide content in book, on-line and with broadcast partners. How do we measure readership? Viewership? Clicks and click throughs? What about ad effectiveness and consumer engagement? Become a part of this discussion, as this panel brings together industry leaders who are seeking creative ways to address these changes and their measurement challenges.
