Spanish term or phrase: información contingente
Ya estando en la universidad aprendí a conocer y a hacer parte de mí, todas las capacidades lógicas y creativas, buscando una manera en que estas dos áreas se unieran, logrando crear mi propia línea de estudio basada en la Creatividad y el Marketing. De esta manera, aprendí a iniciar cualquier proceso de creación planteando objetivos específicos y a partir de estos, poder buscar ***información contingente*** de manera de favorecer una creación asertiva, llegando a lo esencial en cada proceso.

Hola, queridos colegas:
Estoy traduciendo los documentos de una joven publicista chilena que postula a una beca en una universidad inglesa. Marketing no es lo mío y, como nunca he visto "contingente" como adjetivo, le pregunté si este término estaba correctamente escrito. Me dice que lo usa a diario en su trabajo, así que acudo a ustedes. Agradezco de antemano su ayuda experta.
¡Saludos!

Explanation:
I have seen this phrase used in cognitive science, especially in "decision heuristics: i.e. simple, efficient rules which people often use to form judgments and make decisions. They are "mental shortcuts and may not lead to sound judgments, therefore leading to the use of "contingent information". I think this could be applied to the process decribed in the original text.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot, Janice! I did expect this answer from a specialist, as the Spanish marketing jargon is full of anglicisms :)
