Through Advanced Advertising we can all learn a lot about the impact of action and ads alike on fan engagement during the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game.

Chief Product Officer Anupam Gupta shared that the next phase of 4C’s technology is aimed at providing solutions for multi-screen convergence of audiences including linear TV. 4C already captures social media and TV-synced ads across display, search, social and video.
