Webinar: Everything you need to know for collecting the highest quality data

Summary

Panel fraud and data quality are hot topics right now – and for good reason. In fact, panel fraud has boomed since the onset of the pandemic and has rendered research useless for some.

The increase in fraudulent activity, paired with evolving panellist behaviour, have created a vastly new landscape today than even four years ago. A landscape that is not easily navigated.

The good news? Kantar’s Profiles division has been preparing for this evolution for years – and we’re being transparent about what we’ve learned and what we’re doing in this space. We’ve collected and analysed data, made critical advancements to our platforms, and invested in the most advanced machine learning and AI technology to combat the quality concerns of today.

We understand the holistic nature of collecting “quality data”, and we’d like to share it with you.

So, join Kantar Profiles and four of our industry powerhouses, Qi Wang (Data Scientist), Alain Briancon (VP, Data Science), Jon Puleston (VP, Innovation) and Caroline Frankum (CEO) for a breakdown of everything you need to know for collecting the highest quality data today.

You’ll learn:

• How and why the panel landscape is changing and the impact it can have on brands
• The types of bad actors we see in research and ways to address each effectively
• Useful techniques you can apply to your research to improve data quality
• How Qubed, our anti-fraud technology, is able to identify and remove more fraud than any other technology available today
