The promise of personalised advertising is immense: delivering the right message to the right person at the right time. However, if that perfectly tailored message flashes across a screen unnoticed, its potential is entirely wasted. Traditional metrics like impressions or clicks don’t fully capture whether an ad truly resonated or even registered with the viewer. This gap in understanding led Uber to invest in a sophisticated eye-tracking system to measure actual visual attention. Uber deployed an advanced eye-tracking methodology to observe how passengers interact with in-app advertisements during their rides. The study focused on personalised ads, aiming to understand the duration of attention these ads commanded. The key finding was both insightful and encouraging: people in Ubers, on average, dedicated approximately 6.6 seconds of attention to personalised advertisements with anything over 2.5 seconds of attention consistently led to demonstrable brand recall.
Join this session to learn more about Uber’s eye tracking strategy, in particular, we will focus on:
• Why attention is the new currency in personalised advertising
• How the 2.5-second recall threshold is a game-changer
• The pros and cons of in-transit environments offering unique attention opportunities

Drawing from real-world examples and emerging trends, he’ll show how marketers and product teams can harness AI to build a new kind of personalization playbook—one built for relevance, speed, and scale.
Key takeaways include:
This is personalization reimagined—not just powered by AI, but orchestrated by it.

Customer expectations have evolved. They no longer just want personalised experiences; they demand relevant experiences, delivered at the exact moment of need. This is the power of real-time data activation.In fact, companies leveraging real-time data analytics see an average 25% increase in customer acquisition and retention.

Before adopting a Customer Data Platform, Nissan operated in silos. CRM sat apart from the website, the website from advertising, and there was no single customer view. The website functioned largely as a brochure, offering the same experience to everyone, whether they were a first-time buyer, a loyal repurchaser, or a customer booking a routine vehicle service.
In this session, discover how Nissan implemented a CDP to unify online and offline data, create meaningful segments, and deliver real-time personalisation across channels. The results speak for themselves: five times higher lead conversion, double the engagement on repurchase campaigns, and payback achieved in under 12 months.
Today, Nissan is scaling its CDP globally. The next frontier is AI-driven decisioning.
Join this session to explore:
• How to unify data and build a single customer view
• Why focusing on journeys, not channels, delivers impact
• Why organisational alignment matters as much as the technology
