Turning BIG DATA into Winning Strategies [Joint Chamber Event],CanCham上海加拿大商会微信公众号文章

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is proud to be a supporting partner of the German Chamber in this remarkable event.

The speed by which new communication trends and technologies spread across the globe today is hugely impressive. Big data is being generated around us via every digital process, social media exchange and mobile transmission. There is no doubt that the big data era has created many new opportunities for businesses, but it isn’t necessarily a magic bullet to the challenges businesses face in understanding their customers.

Big data is only useful to marketers if used in a smart way, so how can you turn big data into smart data? And how can you ensure that you profit from insights it can deliver?

Join us for a two-part presentation where we’ll redefine ‘Big Data’ and look at ways in which we create and use smart data to better navigate the challenges businesses face in the 21st century.
