The type of data being utilized ranged from first party, to publically accessible, to real-time data. There are strong examples across insights, activation, and measurement: from uncovering an emotional, consumer insight to large brands using data to drive scale to those who are pushing new thinking in attribution. Congratulations to all of the winners and innovators this year.”
