Customer data platforms : use people data to transform the future of marketing engagement

Abstract

Never before has there been such a stark dichotomy in marketing: customers demand the type of deep personalization from brands that technology companies like Netflix and Amazon deliver, but they are increasingly leery of offering the type of personal data required to make it happen. Over the years companies have built byzantine "stacks" of various marketing and advertising technology to try and deliver the fabled "right person, right message, right time" experience to deliver on customer journeys, but have found themselves stuck with a hot mess of siloed systems, disconnected processes, and legacy technical debt.
