6. “How can I do ‘multi-channel’
if I can’t stitch together and
properly recognise an
individual and their actions
across different devices and
channels?”
“IT are the busiest people in
the business and so asking for,
and then getting data to run
tactical, one-off campaigns
can sometimes be almost
impossible. We both get
annoyed but for different
reasons!”
“There is chronic data
latency in our business.
For instance, we only get
email data loaded into
our ESP once a week.”
“What value is being
delivered by my
Marketing Database?”

“We’ve only just moved from our
‘SCV’ marketing database being
refreshed every fortnight to every week
but it’s still no where near as fast as it
needs to be. How can we hope to talk
to people in ‘real-time’ when our view
is a minimum of a week old.”
“We can’t even identify our
VIPs when they come back
to the website which means
everyone gets the same
offer.”
“Our data is nowhere near
accurate enough to do
personalisation and is all over
the place. It’s like Swiss Cheese,
holes and inconsistencies
everywhere.”

What is a Customer
Data Platform?
“A Customer Data Platform provides marketers with an
integrated customer database that can support
coordinated programs across multiple channels”.
Raab Associates
“A Customer Data Platform (CDP) is an integrated
customer database managed by marketers that unifies
a company’s customer data from marketing, sales and
service channels to enable customer modelling and
drive customer experience”
Gartner

So what has changed?
In the 80’s and 90’s catalogue and direct mail marketers looked for
competitive advantage in data and databases. Now the multi-channel
marketer is increasingly focusing on data to give them the competitive
advantage of the new millennium.
