In recent years I became an independent consultant with brands big and small across different industries, and I hit upon the insight that many of the struggles I had seen marketers have 20 years ago, remain today. This was in spite of the huge rise in the MarTech industry. I concluded that the capabilities data-driven marketers really want are:
• More relevant campaigns (send customers more of what they prefer)
• To get more value from their 1st party data (realize value from this asset)
• To use analytical methods (do better targeting)
• To work in an agile way (respond to business needs, quicker)
• To have tools that fit within their own workflow (i.e. don’t need help from IT)
So we set out to build a system that released marketers from the restrictive data science process to free them up to THINK and PLAN and DO more work that adds genuine incremental value to their businesses whilst making their day job far more fun, fulfilling and rewarding!
