Effective marketers are those who have embraced the power of data to measure their efforts to improve their targeting. Marketers are using a range of complex data techniques. They are integrating third party data and using cross-channel measurement in their ongoing efforts to increase their company’s market share.

If you are the “one out of ten” marketer still not using data (ideally intent signal data) to garner actionable insights and effectively target and measure your campaigns efficacy, you are no longer in the race. You can simply walk off the track. There is no way you can compete against companies who are utilizing this marketing magic making data.

A survey conducted by Global Alliance of Data-Driven Marketing Associations (GDMA), Winterberry Group and MediaMath in October 2016 found that 8 in 10 marketing professionals globally are using data-driven techniques. These techniques include measuring campaign results (individual and multiple marketing channels), maintaining customer databases and segmenting data for proper targeting.

Organizations have recognized the value of data for the growth of their businesses and have adjusted their budget spend accordingly. 64.2% of the respondents in the aforementioned study stated that their spending on data-driven solutions was going to continue to rise. Only 7.3% suggested a decrease in their budget allocation for data efforts.

Another survey conducted by the Data & Marketing Association (DMA) and Winterberry Group supports the upward trend in data-driven marketing spend. They found that 40% of US marketers would be increasing their data-driven marketing outlays.

Companies are spending their increased budget on quality lead generating solutions using Intent Signal Data.
