Marketers must gauge customer decision-making to craft the right strategy, creating more opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post will illustrate the high-quality data imperative. Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The newness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume of new tools and technologies entering the market is astonishing. The technology landscape has shifted substantially and continues to do so even now. These advancements have bestowed on people a plethora of choices and increased ease and convenience. The influx of new channels and platforms have paved the way for always-on communication and multiple touchpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modern marketing funnel isn\u2019t linear. But with marketers not adapting to the changes in the market and <a href=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/blogs\/the-psychology-of-personalization-understanding-customer-behavior\/\">consumer psychology<\/a>, they fail to elevate the customer experience. And most customers make decisions based on the experiences brands create for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s what to do next<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hidden-data.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4775\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hidden-data.png 1024w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hidden-data-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Hidden-data-768x343.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The inundation of data channels has marketers struggling to make decisions and stay on top of the most significant industry trends. But good quality data helps them be agile while responding to market demands and customer needs. It also facilitates them in realizing better brand awareness and revenue growth.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/podcasts\/techtalk-by-ciente-with-jeremy-ung-from-apptio-ep-21\/\">Marketing leaders<\/a>\u2019 roles have drastically changed over the last few years. CMOs must set a clear vision for their team and their interactions with sales. Data should form the core of marketing capabilities and define the path ahead.<br>CMOs should begin with creating a framework for data collection and integration. Marketing data can\u2019t be scattered anymore. Implementing a customer data platform is a must to form a single customer view and turn data into actionable insights. Most marketers are busy chasing dollars, aka, immediate impact, and though it\u2019s crucial to tie marketing\u2019s impact to revenue, long-term marketing goals matter as much. Brands must integrate short-term and long-term marketing plans to maximize their ROI and collect the right data to understand customers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4776\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO.png 664w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/ciente.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CMO-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If modern marketers can\u2019t rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/ciente.io\/blogs\/developing-a-data-centric-martech-stack-for-business-success\/\">data<\/a>, analytics turn meaningless. Data has to be accurate and accessible, and it\u2019s just not the marketing department\u2019s problem. Businesses must make data quality an organization-wide responsibility. But marketers need to define what quality data means to them and make it an ongoing effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may also leverage external sources such as tech publications, peer groups, and communities to supplement customer research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Editor\u2019s Note<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad data costs a lot, but it\u2019s no rocket science to minimize the costs that come with it. Start with connecting the impact of data quality with marketing KPIs. Use data profiling early to draw constructive conclusions and spot data problems before it\u2019s too late. As they say, timing is the difference between success and failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High-quality data is essential to stand out when thousands of other things are vying for your customer\u2019s attention.
