Julie Lizer, Senior Vice President of Insights, Americas, at Mintel said:

“At Comperemedia, we are laser-focused on helping our clients grow their business. While we have a legacy of nearly twenty years leading the marketing intelligence industry, we strive to be agile so we can anticipate what our clients will need.

“Laura’s insights into the world of omnichannel marketing have quickly become the favorite part of our clients’ day. She is driven by an obsession to stay one step ahead of what’s happening in the digital advertising world and her tenacity and obsession is having a huge impact on the cultural shift that is happening among our already strong analyst team.
