Data is going to be central to the way a company markets its products in the future. Paid social promotions are becoming key weapons as marketers try to break through the clutter of social feeds to reach their target audience. Facebook’s increasing revenue from paid ads is a good case in point to demonstrate the growing importance of paid social promotions in drawing consumer attention to their product.
Paid social promotions are based on data as marketers use data derived from first and third party sources to identify, segment and profile their target audience. Data analysis provides marketers with audience context to drive their social marketing campaigns, which is why greater the data, the more opportunity they have to know their audience which in turn can drive greater audience engagement with their social marketing campaign. Since most data consumption is taking place through mobile devices, managing mobile data has assumed the most significance.
But how do you marry different sets of data to create a unified audience profile?
Mobile Data platforms are the solution as they integrate different data sets to provide answers to audience behaviors that drive successful ad campaigns. While DMP as a concept is relatively new, there are many emerging platforms that are slowly gaining traction. We have listed some of the best emerging mobile data platforms.
