One combination performed so
well in generating sign-ups, it led
to an extra $60 million in
fundraising for the campaign.
The best part of this story? The
combination favored by the
campaign finished dead last in
the test.
The Obama 2008 team tested
24 iterations of visuals and
call-to-action combination for
fundraising on the organization’s
website.

measure your contribution to
revenue: It is the way to prove
marketing’s value.
The Age of Data has long been predicted. More than 50 years ago, George Jetson woke up in the morning, and his robots served him his favorite foods, dressed him in his favorite clothes, and whisked him away to his car which automatically brought him to the office where he worked on his computer.
We are closer to this world than you might think.
Gordon Moore. His Law Predicted the Process that Would Take Us Here
In 1965, the cofounder of Intel formulated Moore’s Law: “The number of transistors on a computer chip will double approximately every two years.”
1. Your smartphone has a microprocessor more than 1,000 times faster than the computer that took Apollo 11 to the moon.
2. Every six hours, the NSA collects as much data as there is in the Library of Congress.
3. The Internet.
What is Big Data? In a narrow sense, big data is the incredibly fast analysis (enabled by faster process speeds and cheaper storage) of massive sets of unstructured data to find previously impossible insights.
Will Big Data have any impact on my business? If your customer is important to you, the answer is unequivocally yes, because… In a larger sense, big data is the accumulation of technological advances that enable any company of any size to analyze their customer base, to track and provide personal experiences to website visitors, to probe email open rates to figure out what customers are reacting to.
A different Moore, Geoffrey Moore, articulates the impact Moore’s Law (and big data) will have on business. Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado, says, “Big data is the most disruptive business force there is. Big data is the stuff that is really moving economic power from one group to another.”
Geoffrey Moore says big data’s disruption creates new “gorillas,” companies who disrupt old industries and dominate new ones.
Three disruptive companies have used big data to build their relentless data-driven, customer focus: Netflix, Amazon and Google.
Big data is the force behind Amazon’s uncanny recommendation engine. It’s all about data-driven, customer focus. Borders dead.
Google is like a big data muscle: Every time its search engine is used, Google gets stronger, because the company knows more about its customers. It’s all about data-driven, customer focus. Altavista dead.
Netflix used data on what its customers watch to develop its own content, including the wildly successful “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” Blockbuster dead.

Any company of any size in any industry can build a data-driven, customer focused business.
Brian Kardon, CMO of Lattice Engines said
“You can really be David to the big companies’ Goliath by leveraging data effectively.”

What does this all mean?
More personal, relevant and wonderful experiences for customers.
How amazing is it when you call and a person picks up the phone and they know exactly who you are and why you’re calling?
Or when you walk into a hotel room and they have your favorite snack waiting because they know who you are?
Or when you go to a website and immediately see exactly what you want to do there.
Now, the CMO wants More.
More data. More insight. More measurement. More value. More revenue. More of almost everything.
