Businesses can achieve digital transformation and make data-driven decisions that generate results by advancing their marketing analytics. With the current privacy climate gripping our digital realm, data quality is more important than ever when using customer analytics to improve strategic business decisions and gain a competitive edge.  

Research suggests that even though businesses have endless amounts of localised data, less than 15% believe that developing your data and maturing your analytical strategy will improve your marketing. Advanced marketing Analytics is data or analysed content that uses statistical methods and computational techniques to discover insights about customer behaviour which helps businesses make predictions or generate recommendations. 

The digital footprint left by users reveals a lot about their profiles, preferences, needs and purchasing behaviour. Today’s technology allows us to store vast volumes of data from multiple  sources, such as :

  • Social media platforms
  • Transactional sites
  • Company databases
  • Public data 

To achieve your business objectives and drive your marketing efforts into performing better, all the collected data should be safely geolocated and analysed accurately. The analysed data provides a better understanding of how efficient your marketing efforts are and how your users react to your marketing actions.
