The focus on the attention economy in digital advertising is becoming sharper. With the advent of the cookie and personal data, successful marketing campaigns will need to capture the consumer’s mind through creative, context, and attention. Join Angelina Eng, VP, Measurement & Attribution at IAB, Phil Schraeder, CEO GumGum and Rob Hall, CEO Playground xyz as they discuss how contextual technology, attention measurement, and optimization solutions are being combined to help advertisers future proof their attribution strategies by moving beyond basic viewability metrics to better understand the true effectiveness of digital campaigns.
A seasoned executive with 24+ years of digital media, marketing and operations experience, Angelina Eng has focused her career on supporting agencies and brands to define, build and manage digital media and marketing efforts while enabling teams to operationally work efficiently and effectively with both internal and external partners and platforms. She’s been responsible for the development and management of internal systems and workflow, establishment of deliverable standards, designing ad trafficking and tracking guidelines, implementation of emerging platforms, as well as establishing best practices at companies such as Morgan Stanley, Merkle, Dentsu Aegis and Publicis Modem.
Over the years, She has been involved with multiple organizations and events to help define, establish and advocate some of the industry standards that we see in today’s digital media ecosystem (such as ad verification/brand safety, ad fraud, viewability and programmatic, social, etc)
