Creating Ad Accountability, a New World Order

Bob Liodice, president and CEO of the Association of National Advertisers, led an all-star panel of corporate marketers at the recent MIXX Conference and Expo, in a discussion centered on reaching the "in-control consumer."

When the conversation turned to metrics and measurement, Jim Nail, chief strategy and marketing officer of Cymfony, stressed the importance of understanding "why a strategy worked," and not simply gauging accountability by return on investment.

Tom Lynch, VP and head of marketing integration at ING US, said it was important to be consistent in measurement from quarter to quarter, suggesting that marketers "pick a measure and stick to it."

Colgate Palmolive VP for e-business Jack Haber noted that the level of accountability of online media is having an influence on the company's other media buys, as marketers are increasingly demanding better metrics from traditional media like TV and print.

Jerri DeVard, SVP of marketing and brand management at Verizon Communications, spoke out on the importance of media and creative agencies having a stake in the success or failure of a marketing plan, saying, "All of my agencies have skin in the game."

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
