It’s All in Your Pocket: The Phone Connects the Pieces

What the episode covered

Will Hoyt said T-Mobile Advertising Solutions and Bliss use mobile first-party app signals to connect audiences across channels, and Danielle Matthews said Pura uses partner data to refine retail and creative strategy. The recording has a polished partner-case-study register, with a named Pura and Bliss media relationship but no separate sponsorship disclosure stated on the recording. Watch whether Pura or its partners publish concrete incrementality, in-store traffic, or audience-match results for these retail campaigns.

6. 06Creative and measurement

   The closing advice ties mobile data and omnichannel marketing back to budget justification.
