Burt’s presentation from DEMO

Last week, Burt appeared in front of the crowd at DEMO (“The Launchpad for Emerging Technology”) to pitch/launch their latest invention Rich. Rich is the world’s first campaign analytics tool, built with creative agencies in mind.

In other words, Rich goes a few steps beyond CTR (click-through rate) and reach.
