Join me in the upcoming #onlineconference, "GA4ward MKIII - Before Sunset," on June 1st. Will I be seeing you there? What's on the agenda for my talk? Could it be about achieving #digitalanalytics maturity, venturing into radical analytics, or discussing #dataprivacy and #dataethics? Indeed, I proposed all these intriguing topics, but Phil Pearce and the MeasureMinds Group have expressed a keen interest in something more specific. They requested that I delve into the practical applications of #ChatGPT and #generativeAI in a marketer and analyst's day-to-day life. Ever since integrating ChatGPT into my university courses on marketing and analytics, the media has frequently invited me to share my insights on this topic. I've already conducted numerous #conferences exploring how marketers, business analysts, and academics can leverage ChatGPT in their respective fields. This talk won't be one of those high-level discourses answering "What is ChatGPT?" or offering "42 ChatGPT prompts to answer the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything." Instead, we'll plunge into the dynamic realm of ChatGPT and generative AI. You'll learn how these groundbreaking technologies are revolutionizing digital marketing and analytics. Witness first-hand how they amplify efficiency and creativity while honing critical thinking skills. Grasp the finesse of prompting for an optimal AI interaction and ponder the potential ramifications for your professional future. Lastly, we'll explore the vital terrain of ethics in AI use. #speaking #digitalmarketing

Interesting story for my #marketing students: "How did Tropicana lose $30 million in a packaging redesign?" In the story, notice how the eye tracking study revealed the huge impact on brand recognition of this rebranding. "Tropicana’s orange juice became generic, and customers stopped relating to it." Kudos should go to Catalina Almeida!

DID YOU KNOW? LinkedIn is spying on your browser extensions! While working on my own browser extension, I discovered that LinkedIn is actively scanning for other installed extensions. There’s code embedded in their site that loops through over 1,800 extension IDs, attempting to retrieve specific files from each extension’s package. If successful, LinkedIn knows exactly which extensions you’re using - especially those that might scrape content, automate actions, or modify their interface. This isn’t new. LinkedIn was first caught doing this over eight years ago, when they were scanning for just 38 extensions. That number has now ballooned to 1,800+! While some of these are clearly automation bots used for spam (no sympathy there), others are legitimate productivity tools. Why does this matter? This technique can be used by ANY website to detect extensions you’ve installed. It’s a powerful method for fingerprinting users - tracking them even when cookies and other identifiers are blocked. Privacy concerns. Since LinkedIn is probing elements installed on your device, doesn’t this fall under the ePrivacy Directive? There’s no mention of this practice in their privacy policy - nor any transparency about how they use this data. Is this a privacy violation? Should platforms be required to disclose this kind of tracking? Curious to hear your thoughts. #Privacy #LinkedIn #BrowserExtensions #Fingerprinting #CyberSecurity

Petite tranche de vie de prof - j'ai besoin de ventiler un peu... Est-ce que c'est moi qui vieillis... ou est-ce normal qu'à la maîtrise, je reçoive encore des questions du genre : "Combien de pages?" "Interligne simple ou double?" "Quelle police et la taille de caractères?" Comme disait l'autre, on est pas dans un cours "Rédaction 101" ou "Mise en page pour les nuls"... Je me fiche pas mal de la forme. Ce qui m'intéresse, c'est la qualité de la réflexion, la pertinence de l'analyse, et la capacité à structurer une idée complexe. Pas si le texte fait 4 ou 5 pages en Times New Roman 12 pts avec des marges de 2.54 cm. Mais bon... peut-être qu'on devrait ajouter un micro-module : "S'assumer comme étudiant et prendre des décisions de base par soi-même".

#Loi25 au #Quebec, quel est votre #CMP (Consent Management Platform) de choix ? Commentez avec ce que vous avez utilisé, aimé ou non — ou envoyez-moi un message privé si vous préférez ne pas commenter publiquement. Pour ma part : • iubenda : solution européenne que j’aime bien, simple, efficace, peu coûteuse ; • OneTrust : américain, très populaire, plus coûteux, certaines difficultés d’intégration ; • Didomi : européen, équipe locale, ils ont déjà un bon « footprint » au Québec, solution complète ; • Axeptio : français, je ne connais pas, mais ils poussent aussi pour le Québec ; • je sais qu’une petite solution toute simple a été développée au Québec — quelqu’un la connait ? • sinon, il y en a des tonnes d’autres, mais je suis plus intéressé par votre retour d’expérience concrète pour le marché québécois. #vieprivée #digitalmarketing
