Serious Q&A
Give me a “hot take” on where the data industry should be headed in the next three years… Go!
A smaller but more collaborative ecosystem that isn’t necessarily defined by 1st, 2nd or 3rd party, rather the possibilities and performance that different data sets can deliver.
Why should data accuracy matter to anyone using data in any industry?
Data influences everything from audience development, to creative to campaign decisioning. If the data is wrong, everything else becomes flawed.
Why is it so tough to get data right?
With the fragmentation of consumers across many different channels and media types, we’re all managing disparate data, at scale. Linking these numerous data sources to the correct identities using existing and emerging ID keys can be challenging. And with a constantly evolving landscape, just because you have it right today, doesn’t mean it will be right tomorrow. We all need to continuously evolve our data management practices.
What’s the attribute you get requests to target the most?
Buyers with a propensity to purchase from, or engage with, specific brands.
What advice would you give to someone who is looking to break into the data driven marketing/advertising ecosystem?
To embrace the creative aspect of data and analytics. It makes the work a lot more fun and drives innovation within the industry.
