The Marketer’s Challenge: Secure, Accurate, and Qualified Data

In today’s digital age, data is king. Collecting and analyzing massive amounts of data can be challenging, but necessary for success. Data helps marketers understand target audiences,  measure the effects of their campaigns, and develop strategic and sustainable decisions. Marketers need data to figure out what works and what doesn't, create targeted campaigns, and optimize their strategies to truly move the needle on their brand’s goals. 

But it's not just about quantity - quality is critical too. 

Nearly 80% of marketers agree that data quality is essential. At Salesforce Research, it's even the number one driver of marketing-led growth. Moreover, the higher the data quality, the better marketers can tailor their approach to meet the audience's needs. 

In other words, high-quality data leads to success, and success is what we're all about.

The Solution: Ensure Data Quality with Salesforce Marketing’s Source-of-Truth

The accuracy and reliability of the data used in these decisions can be compromised if the source of truth is not trustworthy. This makes it crucial to ensure data quality by leveraging Salesforce Marketing's trusted source of truth. By doing so, businesses can access accurate, up-to-date, and reliable data, leading to better decision-making, and ultimately, increased profitability.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the basis for all subsequent media measurement, performance reporting, and optimization activities. Consequently, it’s essential to have the customer’s trust in the accuracy and reliability of the foundational data used for these activities. The Salesforce Marketing source-of-truth provides the sole source of data for the Mevo app, ensuring confidence in the consistency and accuracy of the data. The Mevo app can then leverage this data to provide insights and recommendations to drive better marketing outcomes.

Moreover, Salesforce is an essential tool for any business that wants to collect and analyze data. One of the abilities is providing a 360-degree view of data, including depth and breadth. This means businesses can access granular data about their media delivery, including specific geographic data and cost and spend data per impression. 

For companies that use customer data platforms (CDPs), Salesforce can also provide data breadth at the individual level, such as direct marketing touches and other attached first-party data. Additionally, it can provide the most granular KPI data possible, which includes brand sentiment data and sales at the individual level.
