Activate Consumer Data to Deliver Truly Valuable, Personalized Experiences at Scale

Brands unable to harness signals and utilize the full value of consumer data could lose market share.

We were pleased to participate at Gartner Marketing Symposium 2019. We connected with so many great marketers and identified common pain points across the profession.

What stands out most are the shared struggles around data activation. Whether it’s for driving acquisition, optimizing experience or boosting retention, consumer data is there, but the insights remain locked within. 

Marketers must unlock insights and activate consumer data to deliver truly valuable, personalized experiences at scale. 

David Hegarty, Vice President of Business Solutions at Zeta Global, talks about how you can harness these signals to make data actionable.

“Data by itself is just an asset that’s costing you money. But if you can make it actionable, it’s going to produce revenue so now it’s something tangible and valuable to the organization.”

Data Activation Is Crucial for Driving Business Growth

Today’s exponentially growing digital landscape provides overwhelming challenges and unfathomable opportunities for data activation.

While the daily noise makes it difficult for marketers to cut through and reach individuals, all this data fuels marketers with trillions of valuable high-fidelity signals for identifying real interest and intent. 

The right combination of tools will empower you to identify interested individuals from the signals and capitalize on their purchase intent with targeted, valuable engagement. 

Alex De Fursac Gash, Director for Gartner’s Marketing Advisory team, delivered an informative presentation at Gartner Marketing Symposium. He urges that marketers must move beyond simple personalization for the sake of itself and highlights the importance of framing individualized engagements as “helping” and “providing value.”

Gash breaks down the potential value brands can deliver into five categories:

1. 1. Direct Me – Guide consumer to products of interest
   2. Teach Me Something New – Make consumer aware of new products
   3. Save Me Time – Expedite consumer’s purchase process
   4. Reassure Me – Reduce consumer’s pain of purchase
   5. Reward Me – Provide consumer with exclusive benefits

Additional data from Gash’s presentation shows there’s enormous opportunity to delight consumers with such valuable engagements; Only 12% of consumers from a 2018 Gartner survey said they’ve experienced this individualized help/value.

Brands unable to harness signals and utilize the full value of consumer data will lose market share. Continued failure to implement data-driven marketing efforts will result in missed conversions, off-putting experiences, increased customer churn and wasted resources on disinterested consumers.
