Marketecture: Get Smart. Fast.

Precision at Scale: Rethinking Data, AI, and Consumer Control with Alex Boras


Listen Later

In this Marketecture Live session, Alex Boras (President of Bliss, part of T-Mobile Advertising) joins Crissi Cupak (Head of Product at PMG) to unpack how advertising is evolving in the era of consumer control. They explore why one-to-one targeting is fading, how agencies are building proprietary tech, and why data alone isn’t enough without intelligence. From AI foundations to new measurement frameworks, this conversation dives into how marketers can balance precision, scale, and privacy while still driving real business outcomes.

  • Strong data foundations are critical for effective AI models
