    How to Personalize Your Content for Better Engagement
    You’ve heard of targeted advertising, but what about targeted content? If you’re going to take the time to make sure your ad message is the right one, why not also make sure you deliver the right content to the right person at the right time. This online panel will include a discussion by top publishers who are serving personalized content to drive better engagement for their audience. And the best way to personalize content is to improve back-end analytics across multiple platforms. We’ll discuss how various publishers accomplish that, as well as describe how Acquia Lift can help increase customer loyalty and conversions.
