Data-Driven Marketing
Data-driven marketing is based on a systematic approach to goal-setting and benchmarking. Measurement is rooted in channel-specific metrics and goals. The four essential steps for data-driven marketing are:
- Establish a set of key metrics.
- Tie marketing team actions to expected results.
- Make marketing data visible and a regular part of team decision-making.
- Iterate, both in terms of what and how you’re measuring results, and the ways in which you’re using data to make decisions.
