Digital Marketing: Expressing yourself online or feeding marketing analytics?

This webinar is part 2 of a new event series and collaboration between the University of Cambridge (Trust & Technology Initiative; Judge Business School) and 3 local technology networks: CETC, CW, CN.

Dr Shasha Lu, University Lecturer in Marketing at Cambridge Judge Business School, and Sue Keogh, founder of the creative agency Sookio (sookio.com), will discuss digital personas and how the unstructured data that they provide can benefit digital marketers and businesses. Their talks will help us discover:

• What a digital persona is and how it has evolved as technology developed and different generations entered the web 2.0
• How our data can help businesses and marketers
• The risks that both individuals and businesses should be aware of when dealing with digital personas and related data.
