Why every growth, marketing and product team need a CDP

In case you've not heard, Google will be deprecating cookies from chrome by the end of 2024 and if you're still not fortifying your 1st party and anonymous data right - you might just be bleeding your acquisition budget more and more in the coming days. Universal Analytics is now Google Analytics 4, tracking events and users have just gotten a tad bit more technical than it used to be. Not to mention that Google Optimize will also be out and about on September 30, 2023. With that said, there's nothing to sweat about, there's still time to shift your growth stack to something more elastic, robust and scalable - starting with the Customer Data Platform (CDP)

SO - as we move toward a more connected, digital world, companies need to develop strategies that allow them to connect with customers in new and innovative ways. Customer data platforms (CDPs) are one type of technology that can help marketers, growth and product teams do just that. CDPs are tools that help marketers understand who their customers are, how they like to engage with the business and what kind of content or services might appeal to them most. With that being said, most modern day leaders get stuck on these burning questions;

  • What exactly does a customer data platform do?
  • How does it differ from other types of technology for marketing automation?
  • And why should your company invest in one?

In this article we'll explain all you need to know about CDPs so you can make an informed decision about whether or not investing in one is right for your business! Furthermore we're fill you in on what you need to prepare before appointing agencies or partners to help you instrument CDPs into your environment

Customer data platforms (CDPs) are a way for marketers to really see who their customers are and how they interact with the business.

Customer data platforms (CDPs) are a way for marketers to really see who their customers are and how they interact with the business. CDPs help marketers get a better view of their customer base by bringing together disparate sources of customer information into one place. This allows them to create more relevant and personalized experiences for individual customers, which can help drive sales growth through increased conversion rates and retention rates.

Here's a discovery videos from to help you understand how you can best prepare your 1st party data strategy using a CDP

A customer data platform offers universal access to customer data and first-party data, allowing marketers to create personalized experiences for each individual and drive higher engagement.

A customer data platform (CDP) offers universal access to customer data and first-party data, allowing marketers to create personalized experiences for each individual and drive higher engagement.

A CDP is a single source of truth about customers that allows you to:

  • Unlock insights about your customers' behavior, preferences, and relationships across channels--both online and offline. This provides better insight into who they are so you can understand what they want from your brand or service. You can then use this information as the basis for creating relevant messages that resonate with them;
  • Deliver more relevant content based on those insights by connecting all of their interactions with your brand--whether they've interacted directly with you or not--into one place where it's easy to analyze in order for you to get a complete picture of what's going on;

CDPs can help integrate customer data from different sources and make it available for analysis when needed by marketing teams, campaign managers, sales teams, finance departments and more.

A Customer Data Platform (CDP) is a technology that helps marketers unify their customer data across all channels and platforms. CDPs offer a single point of access to data from all your marketing channels, including email, web, mobile and social media. They help you manage customer data across all your channels, understand how customers interact with your business and automate processes such as campaign orchestration and optimization.

A CDP also provides comprehensive reporting so you can track performance across campaigns or plan future activities based on data from past interactions with customers

how to create the best audiences for your campaigns

Marketing teams have access to a single source of truth about their customers' behaviors and preferences, which allows them to segment audiences into groups that match specific goals.

Marketing teams have access to a single source of truth about their customers' behaviors and preferences, which allows them to segment audiences into groups that match specific goals. This helps marketers create more personalized experiences for their customers, which can increase engagement and conversion rates.

For example, if you're an online retailer selling women's clothing and shoes, you might want to focus on targeting female shoppers in your marketing campaigns--but how can you do this when each person shops differently?

A CDP will allow you to identify the best audience for each campaign based on past purchases or browsing behavior; then, when someone clicks through from one of those ads (or anywhere else), they'll see products related specifically to what they've been looking at before.

Here's an example of how you can synthesize and activate data into your marketing campaigns with Segment

For example, if you want to send promotional emails to people who live outside your local area but visit often enough that they're qualified as "low-hurdle" buyers, CDPs would allow you to segment based on these criteria.

For example, if you want to send promotional emails to people who live outside your local area but visit often enough that they're qualified as "low-hurdle" buyers, CDPs would allow you to segment based on these criteria. You can also use them for more complex campaigns with multiple steps or phases that require coordination between different departments within your organization.

CDPs give marketers the ability to automate processes and streamline workflows while ensuring all aspects of a campaign are working in unison and toward shared goals.

With more accurate customer profiles, marketers can make more informed decisions about what they want their campaigns to achieve - whether that means increasing lifetime value or reaching out at the right time with a great deal on your product or service.

  • Create and manage multiple personas across all channels and devices
  • Build a single view of each customer across all data sources by linking them together in one place (including social media) so you're never working in silos again
  • Automate both personalization for each persona and messaging for each persona

CDPs help marketers get a better view of their customer base by bringing together disparate sources of customer information into one place where it can be analyzed and used for marketing campaigns.
