Highlights 4 key capabilities to reach/engage customers in a connected world. 1) Reach/engage your audience by narrowcasting, 2) multidimensional insight - filter out the false signals that cost money and harm brands, 3) create a central nervous system - the synapse to send/receive stimuli then recalibrate, and 4) personalized/coordinated engagement at the moment of truth, when customers are engaged with your brand, and when they're out living their life. These capabilities can facilitate redirection of 15-30% of marketing programs/media spend
