It’s no secret that over the past 10 years, marketing departments have become increasingly dependant on data. From SEO to lead tracking to full-on marketing automation, your marketing department is generating more data than ever before and relying on that data more than ever. But as the digital transformation at many companies only continues to accelerate, the data your marketing team needs is no longer just confined to data they generate internally, which creates a whole new set of challenges.
On the bright side, digital marketers now have access to hundreds of tools to make working with data easier than ever before. There is a problem, however. As more and more systems become digitized, more data islands are being created and interconnecting them all becomes an increasingly difficult task, one that most traditional marketers are not trained to deal with.
Some examples of these new forms of data include customer data, competitor data, website and social media, third party data and countless other sources of valuable information, all of which can combine to create a 360-degree view of your prospects and customers, their buying patterns and behaviors. This is why the marketing team of the future needs to include someone who understands data. Someone who can automate the collection and organization of all the available data sources and provide the answers and trends your company needs to stay ahead of the competition. If your team doesn’t currently include such a person, the next person you hire may just be a data engineer.
Platforms like Qrvey can be another tool in your data arsenal.
