Outside of the pandemic and the impact it has had on our lives, with the death of third party cookies and changes to Apple’s iOS privacy requirements, marketers are needing to find alternative avenues for insights to aid their marketing activities.
All the above leads to the importance of being able to access the latest behavioural and attitudinal insights to drive relevant marketing. Historically there have been various methods marketers could use to find their right target audience, some examples are listed below:
Location – For example positioning of OOH (out of home) ads that are relevant for that geo-demographic segment, proximity to a store, outlet, dealership etc. or simply selecting audiences on where they live.
Context – Advertising on a particular channel or in a publication that appeals to the product (i.e. Fashion magazine advertising hair products).
Segmentation Data – Using audience segments based on your existing customer profiles to find lookalike prospects (for example using Experian Mosaic as an audience segmentation) or insights from publishers who have been able to profile their users to provide audience segments (e.g. Facebook).
In this last group, the data is often gathered at a specific point in time and then you are in that segment until the next time the data is refreshed (e.g. you click on an ad for ‘a Hat,’ then you will be added to the ‘Hat wearers’ segment forever!)
What if your data could change along with your lifestyle and personal attitude changes? This is where dynamic data sources could help, and to that end, Experian has created a solution called DynamicData.
