Behavioral Insights for
Digital Marketing Optimization

Digital marketing is rapidly overtaking traditional channels as a majority of  most organizations’ marketing spend. Analysts predict that by 2014 interactive marketing budgets will grow to $55 billion. Marketing organizations are actively shifting budgets away from direct mail and offline advertising to new digital marketing channels, including e-mail marketing, search engine optimization, paid search, display advertising and social media. Today’s marketing organizations and customer intelligence systems are challenged to gain insight into the most productive marketing mix across these new channels.

A proliferation of digital interaction with customers increases the complexity of targeted marketing strategies, increasing the importance of driving marketing decisions through data and not just business intuitions. The good news is that digital channels provide a wealth of detailed data points including email cookies, weblogs, and social media text.  The bad news is that traditional marketing and analytic platforms are not good at processing this data, whose raw form includes multi-structured application logs, apache weblogs, and Facebook/Twitter feeds.
