Importance of right decisions
Data is one of the biggest untapped
opportunities for most CMOs.
“CMOs are realizing that the branding skills
that got them the top aren’t the same skills
in data and operations that are going to drive
their businesses forward”
Merkle CEO David Williams, Oct 2019
“Companies that had good data organization
before are doing better than those that didn’t.”
“Others are struggling because they never had
great data and it’s only being exaggerated.”
AdAlysis co-founder Brad Geddes, Apr 2020
Forward thinking leaders foster a data-
driven culture:
● Identify insights and trends
● make informed and actionable
decisions
Clear need for
● Agile marketing practices
● Cross-channel planning
● Channel accountability
● Marketing mix reporting
Companies that know how to utilize their data better,
outperform their competition
The benefits of data-driven approach include:
● Faster reaction to changes
● Better targeting (right audience, right time, right
message)
● More effective up-, cross-, and down-selling
● Lower marketing costs
● Competitive advantage
Increasingly important to collect and control your own
data
● Access to critical data - how to get it?
● Additional data for better context - how to blend?
● Easy access to data - technical capabilities?
Why data-driven marketing?
Marketers are working with an ever-
growing number of data sources
The amount of data is growing
exponentially
Native UIs are not designed for
analysis and reporting
Historical data is not always stored in
original platforms
Increasing amount of
data sources
Problem: scattered & siloed marketing data
Cross-channel analysis and reporting is getting
extremely cumbersome and prone to human error
Data in different formats - hard to blend data from
different sources
How to filter the right data to make informed
decisions and create actionable insights?
How to move to data automation?
Challenges with marketing data analytics
Extract to a 3rd party analysing, reporting and dashboarding tool.
Alternative ways to extracting data:
1. Manual copy-pasting
2. Export/import CSV files
Cons: Labor intensive, prone to human error, scalability issues
1. Build integrations or scripts
Cons: Building & maintaining custom data pipelines and integrating new data sources
manually is laborious and expensive
APIs are changing, design by engineers, need for data in ready-to-use format
1. Use managed data pipelines
Take control of your data
Automate data flows
Utilize managed pipelines to connect
with existing and new data sources.
Automate cross-channel reporting
Eliminate human error from the
process. Reduce time spent in
reporting.
Get all the data
Use connectors that get all the metrics
and dimensions, not just some of it.
Build the right architecture
Harmonize data from different sources
and choose the right components.
Use easy-to-use data tools for marketers
Enable marketers to crunch and report
data independently in familiar, easy-to-
use tools.
Secure system
Where are your logins or data stored?
Authentication should be done via
tokens and data delivered directly into
an environment under your control.
Make data your unfair advantage

What is a marketing data warehouse?
Marketing data warehouse is a unified destination for
storing and analyzing marketing data.
Marketing data warehouse characteristics:

• data across a vast time period
• high data granularity
• large storage space capabilities
• computing power to analyze large datasets
All marketing data from different sources in one place, reliably and timely
Compare paid campaigns across networks, or link advertising data with web analytics or CRM data
Backfill all of your historical data
Many marketing platforms only store your data for a limited number of months
Full data ownership
Instead of depending on data retention policies, all your data in your storage and under your control
Connect easily to dashboard and reporting tools
Having all your marketing data in data warehouse connected to your dashboard tool will help you to
automate your reporting and spend more time on analysis and insight
