Marketing used to be a simple and traditional sector of business. Marketers managed a straightforward domain of TV, radio, and print as well as predictable and passive consumers. With the digital revolution, super-powered consumers emerged. Marketing is changing, and to meet these changes, marketers need help. This ecosystem of marketing has, until now, remained stagnant in terms of innovation.
For the first time in history, man has not caught up with technology. With the advent of big data, unprecedented amounts of information are being generated by consumers and businesses. Marketers would benefit enormously by taking control of this seemingly limitless source of potential and information and tapping into the analytical and intelligent power of big data.
Yet, in 2013, marketers are still making decisions based on hunches, whims, and instincts. Those instincts, no matter how experienced and trustworthy, need to be reinforced by hard evidence, by math, and by data. Savvy marketers know that collecting and analyzing data is crucial to successfully understanding their customers and company.
Countless studies and surveys show that the top priorities of today’s marketers revolve around controlling and harnessing the power of big data, going mobile, and using the cloud. It has been said that the CMO’s IT budget will soon rival that of the CIO. Big data is predicted to become a $24B market in 2016.
This information leads to one conclusion: that the world of marketing is changing fast, and that marketers themselves do not have the tools to keep up with the evolution.
Our vision is to simplify the lives of the underrated and under-innovated marketers of the world. These professionals hold extraordinary power in the scheme of a business, and its time the obstacles to their success be removed.
Before, accessing all data at once was impossible. Now, with our power of data synchronization, you can be one touch away from all of your data. Data relating to marketing strategies such as advertising, campaigns, and distribution are spread throughout various ERPs, hosted by different partners, and stretched out across the expanse of the Internet. This data, driven by mathematics, predictive algorithms, and spreadsheets, is very hard to manipulate and consolidate, and so synchronization is key.
Back then, external factors were blissfully ignored as marketers could only analyze and take into account internal data retained from the results of campaigns. Now, marketers can x-ray their business with complete context thanks to our extensive data sources. Be able to forecast revenue while forecasting the weather, and find relationships.
Even further, our solution allows you to experience data convergence: all of your fragmented, structured, unstructured, and otherwise cumbersome data sources displayed on one sleek, yet intuitive interface.
