  • The Scoring of America: How Secret Consumer Scores Threaten Your Privacy and Your Future
    World Privacy Forum The Scoring of America: How Secret Consumer Scores Threaten Your Privacy and Your Future By Pam Dixon and Robert Gellman April 2, 2014 Brief Summary of Report This report highlights the unexpected problems that arise from new types of predictive consumer scoring, which this report terms consumer scoring. Largely unregulated either by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, new consumer scores use thousands of pieces of information about consumers’ pasts to predict how they will behave in the future. Issues of secrecy, fairness of underlying factors, use of consumer information such as race and ethnicity in predictive scores, accuracy, and the uptake in both use and ubiquity of these scores are key areas of focus. The report includes a roster of the types of consumer data used in predictive consumer scores today, as well as a roster of the consumer scores such as health risk scores, consumer prominence scores, identity and fraud scores, summarized credit statistics, among others. The report reviews the history of the credit score – which was secret for decades until legislation mandated consumer access -- and urges close examination of new consumer scores for fairness and transparency in their factors, methods, and accessibility to consumers. About the Authors Pam Dixon is the founder and Executive Director of the World Privacy Forum. She is the author of eight books, hundreds of articles, and numerous privacy studies, including her landmark Medical Identity Theft study and One Way Mirror Society study. She has testified before Congress on consumer privacy issues as well as before federal agencies.

  • Magic Quadrant for Global Digital Marketing Agencies Published: 5 December 2013
    G00251602 Magic Quadrant for Global Digital Marketing Agencies Published: 5 December 2013 Analyst(s): Richard Fouts, Adam Sarner, Andrew Frank, Martin Kihn Competition among digital marketing agencies heats up as CMOs face pressures to transform every dimension of the marketing organization. Providers with business transformation skills lead the market. Market Definition/Description This document was revised on 12 December 2013. The document you are viewing is the corrected version. For more information, see the Corrections page on gartner.com. This Magic Quadrant focuses on digital marketing agencies that are strategically and creatively led. Change is sweeping through this sector as new competitors from the business and technology consulting space come on board. We are also seeing traditional marketing service providers creep into agency turf. Although overall merger and acquisition activity was slower this year, the Omnicom and Publicis merger announcement underscores the continuing consolidation trend. Players in this space come from a wide range of heritages. Those with "DNA" in advertising and creative services date back as far as the 1950s and 1960s; Web development firms stepped in during the 1990s to help marketers do business online — and as the 21st century took off, a new breed of players entered from business and technology consulting worlds. The Competitive Landscape Expands New players from the professional services space, armed with seasoned business consultants and technologists, are finding the digital marketing opportunity too good to pass up. In 2009, both Accenture and IBM launched their Interactive business units, competing with SapientNitro, R/GA and Razorfish. Deloitte Digital came on board, with its new line of digital marketing services in 2012.
