SUMMARY:The Marketing Analytics Symposium Sydney (MASS) 2026
DESCRIPTION:The best marketing decisions are backed by rigorous research. The best research creates real-world impact.\nJoin 150+ marketing researchers and industry leaders at Australia’s only symposium designed for both. Where academic rigour meets business application. \nThe Marketing Analytics Symposium Sydney (MASS)\, in its fifth edition\, is a distinguished annual event hosted by the University of New South Wales Sydney. As the foremost event in the Australian marketing analytics landscape\, MASS is recognised as the most significant gathering of marketing analytics professionals and academics from across the southern hemisphere. \nSet in the iconic International Convention Centre Darling Harbour\, MASS 2026 promises an impressive line-up of keynote and guest speakers. \nThe Challenge We’re Solving\nMarketing analytics research is advancing rapidly. Yet most of that research never reaches the practitioners who could apply it. And most practitioners are making critical decisions without access to the latest evidence-based frameworks. \nYou’re facing budget pressure\, privacy reforms\, and AI integration with limited time to sift through academic literature. You need frameworks that work\, backed by rigorous research\, explained in language you can use Monday morning. \nMASS brings both groups together.

Both benefit from perspectives they wouldn’t encounter anywhere else. \nFeatured Speakers\nIndustry Leaders:\n\nOmer Shai – Global CMO\, WIX\nKat Warboys – APAC Marketing Director\, HubSpot\nSophie McKay – Head of APAC Marketing\, Notion\nLisa Turnbull – CMO\, Encompass\nLucio Ribeiro – Chief AI & Innovation Officer\, TBWA\n\nWorld-Leading Academics:\n\nProf Bernd Skiera (Goethe University\, European Marketing Academy Distinguished Scholar) – Growing via new vs existing customers: which path wins?\nProf Vijay Viswanathan (Northwestern University) – Why AI works for some firms and fails for others\nProf Thomas Reutterer (Vienna University) – Winning in generative search: How to show up when customers ask ChatGPT instead of Google\nProf Dominik Papies (Tuebingen University) – The dark side of influencer marketing: What the data really shows\nDr Ta-Wei Huang (National University of Singapore) – Personalisation without guesswork: Predicting what works for which customers\n\nProgram Highlights – Tuesday 24 February\nIndustry + Academic Track:\n\nAI-human collaboration – How AI augmentation is reshaping B2B sales and marketing operations\nE-commerce dynamics – Competition strategies\, algorithmic decision-making\, and platform ecosystems\nFirm-level marketing intelligence – Does AI actually drive performance? Turning abstract marketing concepts into actionable data\nLarge Language Models – AI adoption in customer complaints\, content optimisation for generative search\, consumer-facing AI applications\nVisual AI in marketing – How machines perceive visual marketing compared to humans\, video advertisement evaluation\nCustomer relationship management – Intervention personalisation\, incrementality testing\, customer acquisition vs retention strategies\nInfluencer marketing & consumer data – Investment advice on social platforms\, profile inconsistencies\, data breach impacts\n\nPanel Spotlight: “The Metrics That Matter: When Brand Building Pays Off (And When It Doesn’t)”\nDate: Tuesday 24 February 2026\nLocation: International Convention Centre\, Darling Harbour\, Sydney \nWhere marketing decisions meet research evidence.
