Chen, and co-author Brittani Sahm, studied the ramifications of the explosion of big data in advertising through interviews with eleven decision makers in the advertising industry who manage big data every day. They discovered four themes: “Great(er) Expectations, Overworked and Insecure, Humans vs. Machines, and What is ‘Big Data’ Anyway?
