Big Data is V3: Volume, Velocity, Variety • Big Data is V3: Volume, Velocity, and Variety • Volume: Data sets are increasing exponentially. The equivalent of all data that existed up to 2003 is now generated in two days! • Velocity: Every sixty seconds, 168+ million emails are sent globally.* • Variety: Mannequins, cars, people, mobile devices, jet engines, blogs, pictures, video, Google Glass, sensors, GPS, location-based data • Big Data is also structured (databases, Nielsen) and unstructured (Twitter, RenRen, Facebook) data *http://practicalanalytics.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/sizing-mobile-social-big-data-stats/

To Win With Big Data, We Need To Change From • Measuring traditional media elements only • Digital and mobile are too hard to measure • Ignoring consumer conversations and other factors that drive brand performance To • Measuring our entire, changing marketing mix • Providing clear ROIs and insights as to what works and what doesn’t • Incorporating all consumer behavior drivers
