Kajal Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D., Data Science Lead, Marketing Effectiveness from Verizon and editor-in-chief of the Journal comments: “For a long time, we have been needing a professional publication in the realm of academia that combines our industry’s work in the marketing data field with analytic rigor. I strongly feel the Marketing Data Science Journal from I-COM serves that purpose.”

Andreas Cohen, Chairman of I-COM comments: “The Frontiers of Marketing Data Science Journal represents I-COM’s ongoing commitment to deliver high quality, industry focused output on the cutting edge of both the theoretical and practical use of marketing data science. As per the Journal’s tagline it really is at the forefront of the marketing data revolution. I am delighted that we have brought together such a variety of industry leading subject matter experts to deliver what should be a powerful resource and tool for all those working across the sector.”

Wes Chaar, Chief Data & Analytics Officer from Catalina comments: “The I-COM Primer on Blockchain’s Application to Data Technology could not have come at a better time. A lot of people are talking about blockchain, and a lot of articles are being written about it, but there’s still a lot of confusion about what it is and how marketers can truly benefit from it. This series of papers by some of the most esteemed data scientists out there provides needed and much appreciated clarity. Consider for example the article by Dirk Beyer and Robert Stratton: A Comparison of Machine Learning Approaches for Cross-Device Attribution. Modeling Cross-Device Attribution properly is critical for effective attribution. To develop practical guidelines, they assess the performance of a multitude of Machine Learning based approaches. Furthermore, they compare Machine Learning results to those of Random Forest Models.”
