The DMA Analytics Community organizes this Analytic Challenge, to engage the best analytic experts from around the globe to solve to a challenging business problem. Data practitioners and academicians go “head-to-head” to build advanced analytic models to find compelling solutions to support a real-world marketing challenge. Each challenge has a Corporate Partner, a Challenge Partner and Challenge Participants.
Data service members have provided the infrastructure and personnel to run the competition, scrub data sets for the needed fields, anonymize the data if needed, provide secure online platform for participants models and score the models. That partner will award prizes to winners and report on trends during an ANA conference session and again on a webinar later in the year. The Challenge Partner is showcased in many ways during the process. Find out more about being a Challenge Partner by sending an email.
