Data-driven digital marketing is a critical discipline for senior marketers in their efforts to engage today’s demanding omnichannel consumers. But with such a wide array of channels and choices, what are the specific areas of digital marketing that marketers are focused on, how successful are they and what are they looking to improve in the future?
In this webinar Ruth Gordon, Director of Digital Marketing at Teradata, will explore the results of the 2014 Digital Marketing Insight survey into how marketing managers are using customer data, analytics and personalisation to achieve their goals, plus the benefits and difficulties they are experiencing along the way. Gareth Powell, Head of Web Analytics at leading internet and catalogue retailer JD Williams, will then give examples of how their brands, including SimplyBe, Jacamo and High and Mighty, are harnessing customer data and analytics to drive business value and enhance the customer experience.

Consumer Expectations Are Rising Fast
The ‘always on…
always connected customer’
demands an engaging, relevant and
seamless 1:2:1 experience

together a single customer view as a
customer interacts across all
touchpoints is key
New data = a new approach
Discovery: a journey into the
unknown.
Take appropriate actions, increasingly
in real time

Detailed Online Customer Data: EXPERIENCE
Left Hand Navigation Example
40. • Cosmetic Testing – placement, colours, type of CTA
• Fundamental business questions – Cash / Credit, Re-directs
• Some of our MVTs require on-going measurement to understand
downstream customer behaviour
• Celebrus is perfect for this as we are able to visualise the sessions
and discriminate between Test and Control creatives served
• Enables us to tap into the web behaviour further as well as allowing
us to incorporate product returns, gross margin and financial income
Detailed Online Customer Data: EFFICIENCY
Multi-Variate Testing
42. • Exploiting unstructured data. Opportunities of pattern detection
through big data tools such as Teradata Aster
• Attribution Modelling (Sales / campaign assessment) including
Econometrics
• PPC Bid Management. Plus Lifetime Value / Credit Reject
Rate by keyword
• Personalisation. Very successful trial delivered with Celebrus
Real-Time
• Closer alignment with Ecommerce Development – using
analytics to help dictate website priorities
• Multi-channel and Omni-channel analytics. What do our
customers need when and where
• Integration with other channels - Application of Web Data in
Call Centre e.g. Outbound opportunities for customers leaving
a poor product review
Always Learning & Improving:
Going Forwards
43. • Over £4M incremental revenue benefit delivered last Financial
Year from Web Analytics initiatives
• We are all at a critical point with data
• It is a challenge as data is increasing exponentially. Getting the
balance between investigative analytics and managing tactical
business questions is key but a challenge
• Trying to see the wood through the trees is hard when you are
data-rich. It is important to be posing the right questions
• The big data piece is an opportunity but we should not forget
about the small data i.e. what could you be doing better with
what you already have
If you’re not willing to utilise online customer data
you WILL get left behind
Always Learning & Improving:
Results To Date
45. • When integrating Celebrus we worked out what data is
important to the business. This is an evolutionary process
• Developed IT Web Analytics team to support and develop
Celebrus and Coremetrics. You need to take data seriously
• Close engagement required with stakeholders to help turn
data and insight into £notes
• Develop a test and learn mentality. Not every analytical
project is going to be a success so you need to embrace a fail
fast philosophy
• Develop a strategy for projects as once you have vast data at
your fingertips business questions can overwhelm
