Chris Kenna, CEO at Brand Advance, considered the benefits of real-time sentiment data in his talk at the 99//Club Digital Festival last month.

In the video below Chris answers questions on how IBM Watson AI works, what brands he’s been impressed recently and how responsible he believes the media industry has been throughout the pandemic.
