It’s Not the Amount of Data You Have that’s Important.

It’s How You Use It.

“I am certain that the battle of the next generation of businesses will be made up of who has more data and who knows how to

use it better than anyone else.” Scott Thompson, former CEO of Yahoo

Digital Marketers Need the SameData that Offline Marketers Use

Digital Audience Data is 2-DimensionalKeeping You in the Dark

• Online Behaviors• Demographics

The Problem with Digital Audience DataOnline behavior is an inaccurate

predictor of who someone is.

I just designed

the perfect Ferrari!

Multi-Dimensional Offline Data Brings Your Digital Audience Into Focus

Data Driven DigitalOffline Data Boosts Performance!

Question #1As more and more direct and performance

marketers enter the digital space, measurement and ROI will play an

increasingly important role than in brand or mass marketing efforts.

How does this shift in delivering measurable results impact the evaluation

of the data that is being employed?

Question #2Scale and sizable, yet viable

audience segments are critical to digital success.

How can marketers utilize both online and offline data to achieve

both scale and targeting?

Question #3Where offline data gives us a view into

past behaviors and attributes, online information provides a glimpse into intent,

or what may happen in the near future. What are some of the strategies marketers are using to integrate

both types of data to drive performance?
