S06 EP48: Zero and 1st Party Data for Q4

Today’s episode is an expert panel discussion from the Commerce Accel Conference. The session was hosted by Rosie Bailey, with an expert panel consisting of Ban Parr, Val Geisler, Dan McGaw and Meghann York.

We all know that there have been seismic shifts in the marketing landscape. The iOS 14 update has made it difficult for ad platforms like Facebook to collect user data. The end result is that ads targeting is not as precise as it used to be. But it doesn’t stop there, other policies like phasing out of cookies are going to further reduce targeting capabilities.

We are now officially living in the world of owned audiences. If you don’t own your audience data, it will become progressively harder to market effectively in the future. This starts with building your email lists and communities. Many might say if you don’t have a list already then you’ve missed the bus. But that is not entirely true, you can use the upcoming holiday period to get started on your data collection strategy.

In this episode, our expert panel discusses how marketing teams can actively and passively collect, process and use data to deliver personalized experiences to both customers and prospects. You will get to hear about best practices for personalisation and specific tips for the holiday period. This is a great episode for marketers and merchants alike.
