WHY DOES DATA STRATEGY MATTER FOR PAID MEDIA?
Odds are your company has consumer data that would bring your paid media campaigns to the next level.
As privacy-centric technology and legislation evolve, understanding data strategy is crucial to competitive advertising. The dynamic process includes compliance with new platform policies and campaign optimizations.
When you transform raw data into actionable insights, engagement and conversions follow.
In other words, data ecosystems foster new leads and stronger return on ad spend.
DATA TYPES USED IN MEDIA BUYING
Zero-Party Data
Zero-party data is information customers share with brands in exchange for customized experiences catered to their preferences, wants, and needs. Examples include: apparel size, how often you would like to receive brand communications, and motivations.
Second-Party Data
Second-party data refers to another company’s first-party data that a brand or agency has permission to use. Examples include: purchase behavior data, demographics, device data, and user engagement frequency.
First-Party Data
First-party data is information marketers collect directly from consumers using their own online and offline resources. Information could come from website and app analytics, CRMs, social media profiles, subscription-based emails, or customer feedback.
