Summary

In this conversation, Tim and Emmy-Award Winning Media Researcher, Bill Harvey, Founder/Chairman at Research Measurement Technologies, Inc., unpack the evolution of addressable TV advertising technology, focusing on the development of driver tags and their impact on recommendation engines. Bill shares insights from his early work in the industry, the creation of a system that distilled a million words into 265 driver tags, became the concept of 'Resonance' (vs Attention), and how these tags have proven to be more effective than other traditional attention metrics in predicting sales outcomes.
