DMA 2025: Piyush Gupta on building intelligent, resilient brands

DMA 2025: Ayudante APAC on simplifying data for smarter decisions
Q: What does a resilient data foundation look like, and why is it important for sustainable growth?

DMA 2025: Ayudante APAC on simplifying data for smarter decisions
Q: What's the biggest misconception brands have about AI-powered marketing measurement?
The biggest misconception is that AI will magically solve all data issues if the data ecosystem is fragmented or poorly tracked; in reality, AI is only as good as the data it is built on, so a solid measurement foundation must come first to avoid unreliable outputs.
