Using Big Data in the Marketing Research Industry

Abstract

The availability of big data marks the start of a revolution in how marketers can leverage available information to increase the return on investment of their marketing decisions. However, harnessing the power of big data can feel overwhelming – leaving many marketers ambitious to take the plunge but unsure exactly where to jump in. While strides have been made in the application of big data to political polling and loyalty research, we are still searching for revelations in the arena of innovation research. Our presentation will focus on one revelation on how we can apply big data to innovation research: the fusion of predictive analytics and text analytics to predict new product success.
