| Optimization Is More Than Analytics |

Mark Wachen Managing Director Optimost |
If anyone needs a reminder of how important content creation is,
one just simply needs to look at the great television experience the
American public enjoyed since the recently ended writers’ strike
began in November. Reruns after reruns. Reality television run amok

press conference. Instead of George Clooney and Kate Blanchett, we got
Billy Bush and Mary Hart. When the content creation process is
not running smoothly, it has a major impact on the overall television
experience. The same can be said about the multivariable testing and

metrics such as brand awareness, trust, and credibility, but goes beyond
these soft metrics "into critical aspects of the customer relationship
including product relevance, co-innovation, business practices and policies,
problem resolution", and others. A major deliverable of this research
is the CAI, which "seeks to measure how leading companies stack up in
terms of customer equity and attachment".
