Nico Neumann is deep in the weeds on digital marketing attribution, market mix modelling [MMM] and incrementality testing – likewise the dangers of narrow audience targeting and junk user data - the latter a $20bn market in the US alone. The Melbourne Business School Associate Professor in 2019 published research proving that closing your eyes and randomly selecting male or female audience targets was more accurate than the data brokers and DSPs many advertisers buy from. Neumann claims a senior data broker admitted to him privately that they knew their data was crap, “but who cares? Marketers are buying this”. (Like Arielle Garcia, UM’s former US privacy lead who last year told Mi3 she had accessed her data profile from multiple third party brokers with laughable results, Neumann has downloaded his own, “and it’s hilarious”. You should do the same - we’ve got a URL in our Mi3 feature to test your profile segments). Neumann batted away claims his B2C audience studies were too broad and challenged widely held assumptions that niche segments and B2B were where precision targeting of online users actually works. Last year he ran tests with IT giant HP - a paper is coming - that sharply contests most B2B marketing plans and particularly so for tech sector practitioners. “No matter what we used, it was either equal to random targeting, or even worse,” says Neumann. First party data is better, per Neumann, but there are caveats, particularly around clean rooms and matches that can be bogus. He advises marketers to upload made up email addresses and see what they get back - hashed user 'match rates’ may not be what they seem. His advice: stick with the first and second party data you can trust, but even then, don’t assume targeting will deliver better bang for buck. “I would even take a step back and ask, do you need to target that narrowly? There are very few cases where it makes sense … Why do you even need to exclude people and increase the cost, instead of just letting the content or message do that?” Neumann sees the explosion of market mix modelling and measurement approaches as “a good thing”. But there are market rumblings that the big platforms pushing MMMs risk skewing towards inherent model biases. Either way, Neumann’s working on a project to compare how all the main MMMs hitting the market actually perform. He urges marketers to question all models – and his advice for those emerging from business schools is the same as for seasoned CMOs: Hone fundamentals that will last a lifetime; don’t overspecialise in trends and fads. “Ask hard questions – and just test stuff yourself.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As inflation concerns resurface, the latest data reveals a modest rise in the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, with the overall PCE increasing by 2.3% year-over-year. Despite these inflationary pressures, the economy shows resilience, with GDP growth at an annualized rate of 2.8% in the third quarter and a steady job market. Host Dave Sobel highlights five positive economic trends, including a decrease in inflation rates and an increase in real wages, which suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook for the upcoming year.The episode also covers significant developments in the tech industry, including the resignation of Intel's CEO Pat Gelsinger. His departure comes amid growing concerns from the board regarding his ability to execute a turnaround strategy for the company, which has struggled to compete with rivals like AMD and NVIDIA. The transition to co-CEOs, David Zinsner and Michelle Johnson-Holstoss, raises questions about leadership clarity and decision-making processes at Intel, which could impact its future direction and product roadmap.Additionally, Microsoft has denied allegations that it collects user data from its Microsoft 365 applications for AI training, following a viral post that raised privacy concerns. The company reassured users that they have control over their data privacy settings and emphasized the purpose of the Connected Experiences feature. This clarification is crucial for IT professionals as they navigate discussions with clients about data privacy and the functionalities of Microsoft products.Finally, the episode introduces OpenWrt's entry into the hardware market with the launch of its user-friendly Wi-Fi 6 router, the OpenWrt One. This development marks a significant milestone for the open-source community, emphasizing repairability and user empowerment. Sobel notes that while the router may have niche appeal, it aligns with trends in ethical consumerism and decentralized technology, making it a noteworthy option for IT service providers and networking professionals. Four things to know today00:00 Inflation, Tech Trends, and Economic Resilience Shape IT Priorities for 2025 and Beyond06:50 Pat Gelsinger Resigns as Intel CEO: What It Means for the Chipmaker's Future08:56 Microsoft Denies Using 365 User Data for AI Training Amid Viral Allegations09:55 OpenWrt Enters Hardware Market with User-Friendly, Open-Source Wi-Fi 6 Router Supported by:  https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://tdsynnex.com/StreamOneIon    All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode, we're joined by Rachel Sterling, CMO at Identity Digital. Rachel shares her fascinating and varied career path, from production to marketing, discusses the impact of empathy in marketing, and provides insightful examples of how her unique experiences have shaped her professional approach. She also shares some fascinating insights from recent campaigns, the advantages of non-traditional domain names like .bio versus .com, and how Rachel and her team are tapping into seasonality for greater marketing efficiency. Guest Quote:“The reason I love talking about failure is because once you fail once, you never make that same mistake again. I would say my biggest failure was at Twitter. We did some research and we found that only 5 percent of users were creating 90 percent of the content. And so the next question you ask is, why? And the answer was fear. And so what we determined is that fear was a significant barrier to content creation. And we looked at the competitive landscape and we saw that ephemeral products like Instagram and Snapchat stories were hugely popular. And so not rocket science, let's do this too. And so we tested in lots of markets…and you know what we found?   Nobody wanted to use it…So we built something that we wanted. We didn't build the thing that people wanted, and so within eight months it failed. And so if you are building exactly what you want, you run the risk that you are not building for the person that you are trying to convert, and that is a recipe for disaster.” Episode Breakdown: [08:42] Alchemy Unveiled: Building credibility through a non-dotcom domainWhy choose a domain that's a non-dotcom? For one, they're available. Rachel's work focuses on marketing non-dotcom domains to help users understand all of their options for personalization with their websites.[24:19] Nuggets to Campaign Gold: Failure is valuableRachel's failures have informed something very important: how she approaches work in the future. When we make a mistake, we're likely to never make that same mistake again. Rachel shares that her failures, alongside her successes, are what make her valuable to any organization.[35:23] Gold Rush: Rely on the dataGut instinct is a great place to start but it's not the end all be all. In Rachel's case, she learned that gut instinct can mean building something users do not want to use. So start with gut instinct but always fall back on the data - what are you users telling you? Links & Resources:Connect with KathrynConnect with RachelLearn more about DeluxeLearn more about Identity Digital

On today's episode of Equity, we're taking a look at news you might've missed over the holiday weekend here in the U.S., starting with the recent OpenAI security breach. While it doesn't seem that people have to be too worried about what the hackers actually accessed, the fact that it happened is worth paying attention to. TechCrunch's Devin Coldeway argues that AI companies are treasure troves of data and will likely become more of a target for hackers. Companies that work with the large AI companies should pay attention. We also had an update on Fisker's slide into bankruptcy. The EV startup, that you've already heard about on Equity, had a new update this week. The company asked its bankruptcy judge for permission to sell its remaining inventory for $14,000 a vehicle, a noticeable drop from the $70,000 Fisker was initially asking for. This has some fearing that this chapter 11 bankruptcy could turn into a chapter 7. To close out, we looked at a new trend of venture funds helping seed investors exercise their pro rata rights and avoid their equity stake being diluted. This is interesting because while it could be good for smaller funds to have a way to maintain their equity stakes, pro rata rights discussions can get contentious and bringing more capital to the table won't necessarily help that. Equity will be back on Wednesday with an interesting conversation between Mary Ann and  angel investor and Floodgate Co-Founder, Mike Maples Jr, so we'll talk to you then!Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.You also can follow Equity on X and Threads, at @EquityPod.
