Econsultancy, modern marketing manifesto -data

We believe data must be turned into insight and action to be a source of customer, competitive and marketing advantage.

Data is the bedrock upon which successful research, segmentation, marketing automation, targeting and personalisation are built.

Data allows us to predict future behaviour which is fundamental to creating strong customer lifetime value models and optimisingmarketing effectiveness. Digital channels provide new and valuable sources of data and customer insight that can be acted upon in real time.

If you do not see data as exciting, valuable and empowering then you are not a modern marketer.

Econsultancy, modern marketing manifesto -brand

We believe the internet has forced transparency upon brands and businesses. Brands no longer control the message, consumers do.

This loss of control means businesses must communicate authentically and this requires a clear sense of self to which they can be true.

In a digital age what modern marketers need most is a strong brand.

How do you balance privacy with understanding customers?

People who believe that companies tell them how their personal data is used are more likely to be confident that companies, handle, share and use their data to deliver personal benefits

It’s Personal

Data sharing is personal

Data is a competitive advantage

Permission is a privilege
