CONSUMER VS CUSTOMER: A PARADIGM SHIFT FOR DATA IN CPG

In a digital-first era where those furthest upstream in data collection win, CPG manufacturers often find themselves in the precarious position of being overly dependent on aggregated data from third parties. In this session, Josh Blacksmith, Senior Director of Global Consumer Relationships and Engagement at Kimberly-Clark – the CPG company behind brands that include Huggies and Kleenex – will share key ways that data ownership is under pressure and highlight examples of where this creates tension in the CPG business model. The bottom line?

MEASUREMENT HAS GONE TO THE CLOUD

It’s no secret – everything has gone to the cloud. So what does that mean for your marketing campaign measurement?  Measurement has moved beyond your typical end-of-campaign dashboards and is now a checkpoint along the campaign lifecycle.  And that gives marketers and analysts the power to gain insights, assess performance and optimize their strategies in real-time.  The cloud brings out of the box powerhouse tools for all levels of users, and is giving us new ways to think about data strategies and approaches for cross-platform and omnichannel measurement.

CROSS-CHANNEL ATTRIBUTION WITH FEDERATED DATA

The Walled Garden data monopolies have either released, or are in beta, with data hub products. These data hubs enable advertisers, and select partners, to access data through user-privacy preserving aggregation screens. Typically, these screens require a query from the data hub to aggregate 30 to 50, or more, users. Data hubs also allow an advertiser to inject outside data into the hub and join the data within before aggregating the data out of the hub.  Some data hubs will allow advertisers to federate distributed restricted access data, but not in a manner required for market-representative cross-channel measurement and attribution. The good news is that data can be extracted at a micro-aggregate level.

USING FAMILAR DATA TO ERASE TRANSFORMATION

Diving into unfamiliar lines of business can be challenging for an established brand -- particularly when that line of business has traditionally been a competitor to the Brand’s core product line. For the Postal Service, digital marking channels were long perceived as a threat to Direct Mail advertising. Developing digital channels was viewed as antithetical to mail itself by both the Postal Service and customers who relied primarily on Direct Mail as a marketing channel. With the development of the Postal Service’s Informed Delivery feature, metrics for success had to be carefully selected – and shared – to resonate with concepts of success for existing products. This talk will discuss establishing existing measures for success and the evolution of those metrics to be in line with expectations for new products.
