Can you discuss the importance of audience data in today’s digital advertising landscape?

In today’s world, brands have ever increasing amounts of data relating to their customers and prospects. Meanwhile, consumers are expecting a whole lot more from the reputable brands they interact with. Obtaining cut through and grabbing a person’s attention is the hardest it has ever been.

This is why understanding your digital audience, and how you’re able to reach them has become the holy grail.

If that doesn’t illustrate the challenge brands are facing, consider:

  • Consumers are using more digital platforms than ever before
  • Consumers are exposed to an ever-increasing number of Ads, thousands in a day
  • Consumers are having to tighten their spending as the cost of living continues to rise, re-evaluating what they buy, when, and from which brands.
  • Lastly, the Advertiser has increasing pressure to show a greater ROI.

So how does an Advertiser navigate this kind of environment?

By ensuring relevance across all key criteria; with the right messaging being delivered, at the right time, on the right platform, and most importantly to the right recipient.There’s no point meeting half the criteria and then having a communication that falls short on relevant messaging.

This is how Experian’s Marketing Services can help you to navigate the challenging environment and deliver an increased ROI on your Marketing spend.

 

 

How can businesses leverage data to improve advertising strategies?
 
To achieve the best results possible, data, both first-party and third-party, should be applied consistently across your marketing activities.
 

From understanding your current and potential customers, appropriately and responsibly segmenting them, activating these audiences across channels and measuring the success of your campaigns, data plays a crucial role in all areas of marketing.
