Consumers check their multitude of devices (everything from PCs to mobile) around 150 times a day, making decisions at each interaction. As a result, it can be hard to determine exactly where in the purchase funnel they are at any given moment. Current technology just can’t keep up.

At last month’s Digiday Retail Summit, BrightTag’s Jonathan Ricard discussed a new platform that helps track customer cross-channel engagements, making them relevant in real-time. “This is about understanding what your brand needs and putting the right technology in place to do that,” said Ricard.
