On digital transformation for marketing effectiveness, Niyati talks about the quest for rightful attribution and performance marketing. She emphasizes on streamlining backend so that businesses are ready to scale up and respond to competition and the market faster is what digital transformation in the media and marketing sector is all about. When it comes to marketing, going digital has had massive consequences. Now properties of digital media such as more accurate metrics, combined with interactivity, have created whole new marketing opportunities.

You can’t improve what you can’t measure. What gets measured gets managed – attribution and visibility across the media supply chain helps in understanding what is working, what’s not. Different campaigns have different objectives, and based on these objectives, marketers measure success differently- whether it is to increasing awareness or marketing to existing customers to increase retention.

Sports going to struggle we know - there's a question mark still on the Olympics. Matches without audiences have an impact on sports rights.
