Críticas

"At a time when power is shifting to consumers, while brands and retailers are grasping for fleeting moments of attention, everyone is competing on data and the ability to leverage it at scale to target, acquire, and retain customers. This book is a manual for doing just that. Both marketing practitioners and technology providers will find this book very useful in guiding them through the marketing value chain and how to fully digitize it. A comprehensive and indispensable reference for anyone undertaking the transformational journey towards algorithmic marketing."

―Ali Bouhouch, CTO, Sephora Americas

“Its all possible now. This book brings practicality to concepts that just a few years ago would have been dismissed as mere theory. It features principled framing that captures what the best marketers innately feel but cannot express. Elegant math articulates the important relationships that are so elusive to traditional business modeling. The book is unapologetic for its lack of spreadsheet examples – much of the world can not be represented linearly in just a few dimensions and devoid of uncertainty. Instead, the book embraces rigorous framing that yields better insights into real phenomenon. It’s written neither for the data scientist nor the marketer, but rather for the two combined! Its this partnership between these two departments that will lead to real impact. This book is where that partnership should begin.”

—Eric Colson, Chief Algorithms Officer, Stitch Fix
