"Leveraging Usage Data to Develop More Customer-Centric Connected Car Programs"

When: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at 9:00am EST / 6:00am PST

What: Automakers continually battle to identify which connected car program features and services should be offered on different models and segments, and whether there are opportunities to de-spec legacy technologies such as CD players out of cars. A lack of system usage data makes this job even harder, and many automakers are blind to how consumers are actually using their in-car technologies. In this webinar, SBD will present new research findings and insights jointly prepared with Nielsen that analyze how consumers are interacting with their connected car systems, and the opportunities automakers have to convert that usage into brand loyalty.

Who:

• Andrew Hart, Director, SBD
• Karl Greenberg, Automotive Editor, MediaPost
• Scott Frank, Vice President of Marketing, Airbiquity
