This document summarizes a panel discussion on data-driven marketing. The panelists were from various companies and included Wim Stoop, Jason Foster, Nick Muir, and Michael Whitelegge. They discussed how customer 360 views can help understand customers by combining data from various sources. Traditional approaches kept customer data in silos and had limitations. New approaches use enterprise data hubs to ingest both structured and unstructured data in real-time. Case studies from RBS and M&S showed how customer insights helped improve marketing campaigns and the customer experience. The panel then discussed how customer 360 is now a requirement, ideal first projects, the impact of GDPR regulations, and the importance of culture change for success.

Old notes:
Taken from start up world, AARRR model helps to understand point in the funnel for each customer and then put strategies in place to maximise the scale of customers in each stage and move them through the funnel. Some call this growth hacking but essentially the role of modern marketers is to reach consumers at the moments that most influence their decisions.
Now we know in reality customers don't neatly move through this funnel during a purchase decision. Customers in reality move in and out of these stages depending on their purchase intent and stage of relationship with you as a brand. Their are multiple touch points and key buying factors resulting from the explosion of product choices and digital channels, coupled with the emergence of an increasingly discerning and well-informed customer.
This is the reason you need to have very good data and insight into what your prospect and existing customers are doing and try to figure out what their purchase intent is, what stage of the purchase decision are they at and what strategies do you employ to maximise every opportunity to engage in some way with the world.
Approach to implementations
Align marketing strategy and playbook across your brands, products and teams
Make customer transactions, interactions and behaviours available and accessible
Ensure output from customer intelligence isn’t limited to the marketing team
Invest in big brains and modern technology
Build a platform and capability for marketing that aligns with the wider organisational data and analytics strategy
Think of running your marketing function in the way good digital product teams run – be agile, responsive, data + customer led, digitally savvy but human centred.
Point is: everyone’s got customers
Data is transforming entire industries. Each industry’s got different goals for customer insight
Telecommunications is figuring out how to optimize network performance based on call logs.
Financial service institutions are doing their part to reduce criminal activity by leveraging data to better identify and prevent money laundering.
The government is leveraging data to protect our sensitive information from cyber threats.
The way these industries are operating is being rewritten in order to better incorporate the use of data.
Customer 360 is definitely not new concept. Not use case in it’s own right – its been an ongoing area of focus for consumer driven industries such as Telcos, B& FS & Insurance and Retail. But today we are talking about a more broader and richer sets of data sources – apart from the traditional sources such as demographic information & purchase history , you now have a growing net set of new and emerging data sources including location data, clickstream data, data from new channels such as mobile & smartphones & social media. This gives an opportunity for organizations to build a true 360 degree view of the customer across the lifecycle and across all of the interaction channels.
Using this detailed customer profile, build from all of this data, organizations can now understand their customers much better in a way that enables them to serve them better and grow the relationship.
1 The NRF estimates that, on average, 30 percent of all digital sales can be attributed to mobile and grew to $14 billion in 2015. The retailer today must break from traditional, linear views of the path to purchase and look at the larger, holistic engagement with the consumer.
Same is the case with Banks & Insurance – How do you get one consistent view of your customer across diverse channels and products that you serve. How do you better understand the voice of the customer? How valuable is that customer and What is the customer saying on social media about the most recent interaction.
It will enable you to Deliver contextually relevant experiences, personalized recommendations, and targeted offers by correlating behavior, transaction, and location data. A 360-degree customer view can enable you to drive a very compelling & consistent customer experience, drives down acquisition costs, prevents switching, and increases lifetime value.
In fact, 40% of U.S. smartphone owners admit to checking out a product in-store and then buying it online, also known as “showrooming.”
EDH – complements your existing DW
It can ingest data from multiple sources – streaming as well as Batch processing data. It can then help you discover, model & serve this data as required to the EDW or it is connected to all the BI/ Reporting tools that the CSP is already familiar with
For example Telcos can now bring together customer usage information along with social media interactions and sentiment analysis to effectively identify, detect and prevent churn. CSPs can now combine the customer usage patterns with customer lifetime value data along with network performance data from network logs to proactively address any Quality of Service (QoS) issues for customers based on their value to the business.
1. You can keep unlimited data online, in its original fidelity and format. As a data staging area, it can serve as an automatic archive of any data sent to it, and process that data quickly and cost-effectively.
2. Diverse users can get direct access to all business relevant data, through the best tool for the job, whether that’s SQL, search, programming, or your existing BI or analytics tools. Users who previously had no way to benefit from data can now find and generate insights.
3. All of this can be done with confidence, thanks to Cloudera’s enterprise-grade security, governance, and management tools.
While some of the customers get started with EDH as away to drive down costs or improve efficiencies in the ETL process, a lot of Clients move up the value chain to provide more compelling use cases such as Customer 360, Churn Analytics and Network Optimization
Through Customer 360, Telcos can build a highly enriched customer profile beyond the traditional segmentation attributes to enable precision profiling of the customer base for highly targeted marketing and customer care activities.
