U.S. Firms To Spend Over $10 Billion On Third-Party Audience Data In 2017 & Even More On Third-Party Solutions To Use That Data - PRWeb

The IAB Data Center of Excellence and the Data & Marketing Association (DMA) have released “The State of Data 2017,” a study showing that U.S. companies will have spent $10.05 billion on third-party audience data in 2017 for advertising and marketing efforts. However, slightly more – $10.13 billion – will have been spent on third-party solutions to support its activation.

The research, compiled by Winterberry Group and based on an analysis of financial information provided by a range of the nation’s leading commercial data providers, estimates that of the money spent on third-party solutions, $4.3 billion is expected to be spent in 2017 on supporting data integration, processing, and hygiene. These types of services help maximize the accuracy and actionability of audience data, while providing contextual brand safety. Spending on hosting and management solutions is anticipated to hit $4.2 billion by end of the year. Analytics, modeling, and segmentation solutions are expected to take in $1.63 billion.

The study revealed that of the $10.05 billion expected in third-party audience data more was spent on Omnichannel than others, reflecting the value marketers are placing in reaching consumers on multiple devices: 
    Omnichannel ($3.53 billion)
    Transactional ($2.99 billion)
    Digital ($2.07 billion)
    Specialty ($0.88 billion)
    Identity ($0.56 billion)

3 Questions to Ask B2B Intent Data Providers - TechTarget

3 Questions to Ask B2B Intent Data Providers - TechTarget | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Let’s say an external intent data provider is telling you “Acme Corp.” is showing strong or increased intent activity around Flash Storage solutions. Ask them these questions:

Question 1: “You say Acme is investigating Flash Storage. How do you know it’s Acme?”
Look for providers who offer techniques beyond IP lookup for identifying accounts, such as direct user input into registration forms.

Question 2: “How do you know Acme’s interested in Flash Storage?”
Ask providers for a specific understanding of the content sources (Web sites, Social Networks) they’re using to derive intent in your market area. Beware of solutions that don’t reveal the source of the content and user/account activity – it’s a warning sign they may be associating intent where none actually exists.

Question 3: “Who at Acme Corp. is investigating Flash Storage?”
Ask the provider if they provide contact lists for the accounts they identify as active/in market. If they do, ask them the source of the contacts, and whether those contacts are “just names” or whether they are the actual people who generated the intent signals in the first place.

Customer Experience Matrix: Radius Provides High Quality Data on Small Businesses | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
What Radius does will sound broadly familiar to loyal readers of this blog: it scans social media, Web pages, government records, and other online sources to build a list of more than 20 million U.S. businesses and their attributes. It supplements these with conventional data sources to capture businesses with a limited digital profile. In its current incarnation, Radius also imports a list of won and lost deals from each client’s CRM system (direct connection to Salesforce.com, batch imports from others) and shows how well each attribute correlates with success.

Marketers and Their Problems With Data - MarketingCharts | #TheMarketingAutomationAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

For all the talk about “real-time” insights, it turns out that very few marketers are actually looking at their data sources every day. At least that’s one of the takeaways from a new Domo-sponsored report [download page] that presents study results suggesting that marketers are disconnected from (drumroll…) data. Domo’s survey of 301 marketers indicates that no more than one-third of respondents are checking – on a daily basis – any of the data sources they use.

Excerpt...


Just 16% of North American B2B marketers say that their prospect data is accurate, reliable and comprehensive, with 79% admitting it needs improvement, details the CMO Council in a new report [download page]. Part of the problem seems to be that a plurality 24% update their data resources only periodically, with few doing so constantly in real-time (17%) or daily (14%). Marketers may have difficulty updating data more than periodically, given that they are drawing on a wide variety of sources.
