Are you struggling to choose the best marketing strategy or measure the effectiveness and adequacy of your marketing campaign? You are not alone I’m too.
I’m no expert in marketing strategies so to set this straight before you go ahead and read the entire article, but I’m an expert in digital transformation and building intelligent systems that can advance your marketing strategy.
Today, most organizations follow a conventional and traditional approach to develop their marketing strategies. It involves a great deal of effort and requires good study of the market and alignment with the cooperate strategy. However, I would argue that these strategies are predominantly based on past experience and little to do with “your data”. It is rare to see organizations employ advanced analytics to build their strategies. Mostly, due to technical complexities or inability to harvest the data.
Data-Driven Organization
You must have seen this title before. Numerous organizations like to put this title in their strategies to indicate the organization puts data first. Although, this is a great direction to take, however, few organizations do manage to perfectly implement. Only those who really understand how to put “Data-First” manage to succeed in building a data-driven organization.
Building a “Data-Driven Organization” is a rather extremely challenging task. It would take the entire organization to achieve it. Many processes need to be redesigned, rules need to be rewritten and business logic needs to be rethought. Equally, the IT infrastructure needs to be ready to help achieve that from building systems to storing and manipulating data.
Data and Marketing
No matter how good and robust your strategy is, it will be extremely fragile if not based on facts and data. Strategy after all is a process; a thoughtful process; you need to collect data about your organization, products, customers, partners in order to tailor the strategy to work best for you.
The data is available in two places. One within your organization’s systems and the other outside your perimeters. The latter is mostly found in open data. Nowadays, social media and global news on the internet represent a big portion of that data. That is why organizations these days use social media monitoring tools to monitor and observe what people are exchanging about them and their brands.
Social Media and Marketing
Companies today are in a race to attract more customers and promote their products to consumers online and most specifically over social media platforms. It has become a practice to analyze what people say over social media platforms to measure the performance of the marketing and communication department. It’s really such a powerful tool and we have seen the impact they present on the social, economic and political life we have today.
Artificial Intelligence and Marketing
Artificial Intelligence was introduced to solve the inability to process a massive amount of data and spot important things like when people are happy or angry about a service or a product we have. Many tools today offer basic to advanced Natural Language Processing to read the unstructured data make sense of it and present insight that could help organizations improve their services.
AI can be used in various marketing scenarios and I will give a shortlist of potential scenarios where AI can be of help
