Discussing the unveiling of the three new solutions, Hernan Sanchez, Managing Director of Kantar’s Brand Growth Lab said, “Each of these three solutions is designed to provide a unique, data-driven overview of the consumer journey with an AI/ML-led approach. These solutions provide customizable decision support systems to assist in the evaluation of marketing strategy effects and the potential yields for brands. We believe that these solutions running on powerful AI-based workflows will enable an increase in marketing productivity across the region, as well as the decision support systems (simulators) will help improve decision making for brands in the complex and dynamic digital economy.”
