ANA Marketing Futures Podcast Episode 42 - Reclaiming Our Data Destiny, with Arun Kumar of IPG

Over the past 10 years, data has become a superpower for marketers. But, as a certain web slinger’s uncle once said, “with great power comes great responsibility,” and let’s be honest – brands haven’t always been the most responsible with the oceans of data at their disposal.
