Our highly anticipated Analytics Unite 2022 event is quickly coming up, this year being held in-person at the Drake Hotel in Chicago from June 21-23.

We’re excited to announce that James Cummings, VP, global head of analytics and human intelligence at Mars Wrigley, will be joining the conversation on “Growing Analytics from a Cost Center to a Profit Center.”

What You Can Expect From This Session

A properly designed and executed analytic foundation provides consumer goods and retail organizations the insight needed to accelerate growth and innovate at the speed of business. Despite the undeniable power of a robust analytic engine, many companies struggle to consistently generate value and tangible ROI from analytics spend. 

In this session, Cummings will examine how a consumer goods and retail organization can build the capability to turn data into value at scale. Explore Mars Wrigley’s current analytics efforts and how the company uses evidence based approaches to turning potential into profit.

Happening at 10:20 a.m. on June 23. Learn more!
