About

Beth is an Associate Professor of Advertising at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication, author and TEDx speaker. As a 25-year veteran of the advertising media industry she leads the media planning and data & analytics curricula. She is also the author of Media Planning Essentials, the first online, digital-first media planning courseware. Beth’s research interests include applying machine learning techniques to develop predictive models of television audience retention. These models can be used to optimize ad curation and provide television networks with tools to maximize their revenue models. She is also working on employing psychophysiological research techniques to understand how people perceive branded content implicitly. This research can help inform both the creation and placement of branded content.
