Jivox Study Identifies Data Challenges For Multiscreen Campaign Investments

Investments in multiscreen advertising continue to rise, but a study from Jivox suggests that marketers still don't know how to dig out the deep data required for successful campaigns. Lack of technology and skill as well as high costs contribute to the slowdown.

The survey found that investments in multiscreen ads continues to rise.

More than 60% of marketers participating in the Jivox study said they do not get the level of insight needed for multiscreen campaigns, and 47% don't know the channels performing best.

The participants also names lack of skill,at  about 21%.
