If last year’s TFM&A was characterised by conversations about how mobile, big data, and content marketing could be plugged into marketing campaigns, then this year’s event clearly demonstrated a much deeper understanding of the role of data within the marketing function, and that it should form the bedrock of any campaign, regardless of content or channel. There has been a stark contrast between the early fact-finding conversations I had with delegates last year and the...

So, you are starting the year with a huge database of contacts. To ‘whoo-hoo’ or to not ‘whoo-hoo’? That is the question. Is having this huge database really going to help you achieve your targets of increasing engagement and marketing’s impact on revenue? Probably not without some smart marketing (from you) applied. It is no secret that not all contacts in your database are equal. There are those that are truly engaged. And there are those that have basically tuned you out...

Marketers have long known the importance of good data management and data cleansing. Yet we all know that, in practice, few have mastered the skills necessary to truly understand and successfully manipulate marketing data. According to recent Econsultancy research, managing customer data - the crux of any customer engagement strategy - is particularly challenging. Some 35% of the senior level executives surveyed said they work within a “siloed organisation lacking coherent...

With 2015 upon us, it’s time to prioritze your top initiatives for the New Year. It’s also a great time to reflect on what went well over the last 12 months and what initiatives didn’t go as planned. Did you spend the last year obsessing over your content and design, running tests to optimize your call to action, or did you spend huge amounts of time planning and building multi-touch campaigns? I’m thinking a lot of people are nodding their heads. But let me ask you this, do...

There are probably countless marketers out there who would never put the word "merry" and "data" together in the same sentence. The reason being these same marketers are dealing with data that is, well, not very merry and in many cases quite Scrooge-like as their data causes them to see ghosts in their sleep. Fortunately for these same marketers there is the Oracle Marketing Cloud who is more than ready to send that old data Grinch packing and in turn make your spirits AND...

One of my most inspiring (and terrifying) advertising professors advised on a daily basis: “NO borrowed interest!” In other words, don’t cram an analogy somewhere it doesn’t fit just to be “creative.” In this case, I think he would be quite accepting of the TV show = data challenge correlation. (Including what you can do to get it all in Prime Time). So, with a respectful nod to Dr. Ruben, here’s a list of some popular TV shows. See if any of these resemble your current...
