Welcome,

While, as usual, our newsletter is packed with useful information on the latest practices and techniques in our industry, I would like to take just a moment to pause to reflect on the Thanksgiving holiday.

It can mean so many different things to each of us - eating too much, watching football, having so many people over at the house that the Wi-Fi grinds to a halt, hearing in the background from the kid's table some nephew or other saying 'EWW – there are oysters in the stuffing!' and, of course, someone forgetting to put the rolls in the oven.

But it can truly mean so much more – a joy in gathering with family and friends, the ancient camaraderie of joining together to celebrate our lives through sharing a meal, and creating a time of reflection that we all need to put our lives in perspective.

And it is those simple pleasures that we here at the IMA hope everyone experienced during this holiday.

Sincerely,

Sinan Kanatsiz
Chairman, IMA

Are You Delivering Cross-Channel Personalization? Learn What Under Armour and Saks Are Doing Right.

By Ernan Roman, ERDM Corp

There is a chasm between what customers are expecting in terms of personalization and what marketers are providing.

A Product Executive's Perspective On Unlocking B2B Data's Latent Potential

By Mark Woollen, Chief Product Officer, Radius

Salesforce is a trailblazer in their space. If you need proof, just look at the great legacy they're building for themselves, particularly in promoting the cloud and democratizing access to software. We also saw their ever increasing breadth of solutions at this year's Dreamforce event. As always, Dreamforce 2016 left attendees buzzing on a variety of new products, perhaps none more notable than Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Predictive Analytics.
