The Personal Data Revolution: Why It’s Time For Marketers To Care

Posted on by

Data privacy has turned into one of the most important, hotly debated topics globally. And while lawyers, governmental officials and technology experts weigh in, the people who should be most concerned, involved, and engaged are marketers. According to a Deloitte report, 73% of consumers would reconsider using a company if it failed to keep their data safe (this compares to only 51% who would switch companies if they were charged a higher price than competitors for a similar product).

This is a consumer problem, meaning that it is a marketing problem. How data is collected, how it is used, what companies do with the data, and with whom they share it all impacts the consumer?s experience. And while marketing should arguably lead enterprise-wide thinking on the topic, few do.

To better understand the nature, importance, and ramifications of the personal data revolution, I turned to Addison Deitz, EVP/Director of Global Operations and Client Support, and Jessie Kernan, Global Head of Data and Strategy, both from Rapp.

I’m building a 5-bit redstone computer! via /r/Minecraft

I’m building a 5-bit redstone computer!

This is actually the first time I've built a computer in any way. It isn't supposed to the the fastest, most powerful, etc. It has 50 bits (10 addresses, 5 bits each) of RAM, an RNG, a very basic ALU that can add, subtract, and check if two numbers are equal. It has about 0.64 kilobytes of program ROM, with 31 lines and conditional branching. It's not completely built yet, right now I'm working on the command interpreter and wiring everything together. It won't have a GPU, probably a hex display and an input panel. There will be a panel with lights for a few errors and notifications (address out of range, ALU carry flag, etc.). I'm not sure about the clock speed yet, but I'll try to give you updates about my progress. If I make a video, my PC isn't very good so there will be lag! I'll put in screenshots here soon.
