Germantown, MD (PRWEB) October 17, 2015 -- DataLab USA (http://datalabusa.com/digital-solutions/), one of the nation's foremost analytics and marketing consultancies, has been awarded second place honors in the 2015 Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Analytics Challenge.
Participating companies were asked to analyze data and develop an algorithm that predicts the likelihood of first-time customers to make a second purchase of their flagship product. First party data included customer characteristics and prior purchase behavior. The third party data sets, provided by Epsilon, included hundreds of attributes such as demographic, financial, behavioral and lifestyle characteristics.
The top 3 solutions presented their methodologies at the &THEN Conference, DMA’s newly reinvented annual event, in Boston on October 6th.
The role of the challenge is to allow practitioners to go “head to head” in building a model to support a real-world marketing challenge. Final submission included entries from over 5 countries and 23 organizations including brands, agencies, and academia.
Aaron Davis, Chief of Analytical Services at DataLab, stated, “There are a number of talented analysts and predictive modelers in our industry. As our analytics team grows, it’s important for us to enter industry competitions which validate the talent we’re fortunate to have at DataLab. We’d like to thank the DMA and Epsilon for sponsoring this year’s competition.”
