preferred channels. This knowledge is crucial for creating relevant and impactful content.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Customer data is a potent tool for informing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/influencer-marketing\/b2b-content-strategy-2\/\">content strategy<\/a>. It gives you an idea of what your customers care about, what they search for on Google, what they say on social channels, and which channels they spend most of their time on. If you know the trends that matter most to your target audience, you can create content around those areas, making it more likely to have a business impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary purpose of data-driven marketing is to save time by validating your work and finding white space in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-data-driven-marketing\">What is Data-Driven Marketing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Data-driven marketing represents the future of the field, with an approach deeply rooted in analytics, testing, and optimization. Rather than intuition, data-driven marketers let customer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/influencer-marketing\/data-insights\/\">market data insights<\/a> guide their strategy. With technology expanding access to information, harnessing these insights drives strategic advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From ideation to execution, data informs every marketing decision and activity. From early market research to campaign analysis, quantitative metrics and qualitative observations at each stage shape plans with surgical precision. Data reveals both macro market forces and micro customer segments to target. Testing through A\/B formats and multi-variant campaigns helps continuously refine messaging, platforms, creative, and more based on performance. With a wealth of analytics at their fingertips, data-driven marketers operate confidently, backed by evidence-based intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-data-say\">What&#8217;s the Data Say?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Altimeter Report asked about data-driven marketing, &#8220;What sources of marketing data do you use to create content?&#8221; The answers were all over the place. But the good news is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/video\/marketing-campaign-plan\/\">marketers use data to inform campaigns<\/a>, messaging, advertising, and other digital marketing efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f7f7\">\n<li>63% of the respondents use website analytics to inform content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>59% of the respondents are using social media metrics to inform content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>58% of the respondents use customer surveys and primary research to inform content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>49% of the respondents use social customer service or call center records to inform content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>48% of the respondents use CRM systems to inform content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>23% of respondents use data from third-party providers to inform content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The information in this report is fascinating on so many levels regarding data-driven marketing. Marketers using data is a good sign of what&#8217;s to come, especially when marketers can align marketing messages with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/data\/customer-needs\/\">customers&#8217; unmet needs<\/a>. I am curious, however, how many marketers are learning to measure content marketing performance using this same type of customer data. Time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-using-web-analytics-to-inform-data-driven-marketing\">Using Web Analytics to Inform Data-Driven Marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Web analytics platforms like Google Analytics and Adobe Experience Cloud offer invaluable data to drive content <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/b2b-marketing-strategies\/\">marketing strategies<\/a>. Marketers gain critical insights into audience interests and preferences by tracking detailed website metrics around user engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Google Analytics reports on traffic drivers, visitor demographics, page views, time on site, and more. Analyzing this data reveals top-performing content that resonates based on engagement time. It also provides interest-based insights based on site search behavior and previous sites visited before landing pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced teams can tailor experiences using this data, like serving up personalized home page content for return visitors based on past engagement. Marketing campaigns also benefit from seeing which landing pages and ads deliver conversions to refine targeting and messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id3012_eea790-b7 >

Creating a step-by-step tutorial article or forum thread using that exact user language targets searchers with a ready answer.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id3012_8c5b7c-e3 >

By understanding cultural conversations and consumer language through data, brands can craft social posts and ads in formats and with messaging that speaks directly to the target user in an authentic way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, data-driven insight allows shaping content, experiences, and campaigns to match the specific desires of the intended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/influencer-marketing\/audience-relevance\/\">audience for superior relevance<\/a>. This hyper-personalized approach drives meaningful engagement across channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-helps-find-market-white-space\">Data Helps Find Market White Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data reveals the white space in a given market by surfacing unmet audience needs and desires. For example, a software company may find through search trend analysis that business decision-makers are increasingly asking questions and having discussions online about data analytics tools and how to implement them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the search results and content available don&#8217;t adequately address their concerns and information needs based on high search volumes around certain unanswered topics. Identifying this market gap for more educational, tactical content and resources is invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The software company can then develop tailored thought leadership content like how-to guides, conference workshops, and whitepapers to provide the in-depth analytics guidance target users seek. Providing this hard-to-find information establishes the brand as an authority and ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data illuminates gaps in the marketplace between audience needs and available solutions. Seizing these opportunities with targeted content development enables brands to support customers and strengthen strategic positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-content-is-just-one-element-of-data-driven-marketing\">Content Is Just One Element of Data-Driven Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While crafting great content is critical for engagement, data optimizes and connects broader initiatives across marketing, comms, and sales. For example, search engine marketing (SEM) campaigns can be optimized by aligning paid keywords to high-value content themes that attract qualified traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public relations outreach can spotlight data-backed thought leadership content and place contributor articles in targeted industry publications. Email nurture streams can deliver different content matched to prospect engagement signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ongoing testing and measurement of all strategies and tactics provide ROI insights for continual optimization. A\/B testing content variants or subject lines identifies high-performing options. Evaluating multi-touch attribution models ensures integrated campaigns maximize outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data enhances every element of digital marketing programs &#8211; from messaging to channels &#8211; by pinpointing what connects with audiences and drives measurable business results. An analytics-first approach results in a strategy backed by evidence, not assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speed-to-insight-with-data-driven-marketing-campaigns\">Speed to Insight With Data-Driven Marketing Campaigns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key advantage of data-driven marketing is enabling brands to glean insights quickly and act on them in real time to optimize campaigns. Having nimble processes to test, measure, and iterate based on analytics is essential to stay competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, an e-commerce retailer may monitor real-time engagement metrics across social ad variations. Once data reveals a specific creative resonates best with their audience, they can rapidly expand investment in the high-performing option to maximize results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, analyzing site analytics like click-through rates can show which on-site content best moves customers through the conversion funnel. Doubling down on more content in those popular categories increases engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially data-driven marketing informs agile decision-making to improve marketing programs, content, and the customer experience through constant incremental testing and refinement. Speed to insight allows brands to stay tuned to their audience and swiftly respond to ever-changing market dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id3012_ff0679-6a >
