How do you measure the true power of creativity — without the noise of algorithms or influencers? At Advertising Research Foundation (ARF)’s #CreativeEffectiveness 2025, Garima Singal, Senior Data Scientist at billups, shared a framework for doing just that. By using #OOH as a natural control group, Garima showed how we can isolate creative impact itself - revealing how design, clarity, and attention shape real-world results. A smart step forward in understanding what really drives effectiveness💡👏 #billupsTeam #DataScience

That’s a wrap on World Summit AI and we’re heading home energized!🚀 Over two days, we had dozens of eye-opening chats at our booth and beyond, especially about how AI is unlocking the performance age of Out-of-Home. 💬One visitor told us, “I didn’t realize OOH could do that!” That reaction? Priceless. It sparked some of the most future-focused convos we’ve had all year. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by (and asked us the hard questions, we loved those). If you didn’t make it, but want the inside scoop, get in touch with us. We’re all ears. #WorldSummitAI #OOH #billups #AI

👏 A proud moment for #billupsTeam Our very own Sumit Kohli, Global IT Director, joined the stage at Digital Transformation EXPO (DTX) in London as a panellist on “From SLAs to service value: The AI balancing act in ITSM.” Sumit shared how organisations can move beyond measuring AI by speed alone, and instead focus on data quality, outcomes, trust metrics, and upskilling. The key takeaway? 💡AI in ITSM should be the lever that shifts service desks from reactive SLAs to delivering true business value. We’re grateful to have Sumit representing billups on such an important stage and proud to see his insights driving the future of IT and AI. 💡🚀 #DTXLondon #AI #ITSM #billupsGlobal
