Presented by Dave Chaffey, CEO and Co-Founder, Smart Insights
Better understanding and acting on the holistic customer journey is paramount to success for today’s marketers. Reaching that goal, however, has become increasingly complicated due to an explosion of disparate technologies and fragmented data sources. How can marketers collect and stitch together the customer data they need, and then act upon that information to drive results? Join digital marketing expert Dave Chaffey as he discusses the latest trends, innovations and best practices for driving more timely and relevant interactions across touch points. Dave will discuss the opportunities and challenges for real-time personalization; give examples of what leading brands are doing today; and talk about how more and more brands are turning to the customer data platform (CDP) and other core technologies to accelerate their initiatives.

AIM – CREATE A UNIFIED PROFILE – OPTIONS:
Enables clients to leverage profile between
their proprietary applications, but what
about the other mission critical point
solutions?
MARKETING
CLOUD
Unified customer view cross journey. Best
for first-party data collection. Deepest
integration with martech ecosystem
including CRM.
CUSTOMER DATA
PLATFORM
Profiles only limited to one channel –
usually the website – and are often
reliant on integrations with other
partners.
SINGLE VENDOR PROFILE
Excels at third-party data, but limited in
providing first-party data. Free solutions
don’t offer data ownership.
DMP
Provides data ownership, but costly,
time-consuming and lengthy processing
times.
