Oracle Marketing Consulting: Issue 80

With election uncertainty swirling again…

Some of our clients have proactively planned to delay their digital marketing campaigns and have created contingency messaging depending on the outcome. Just as in 2020, brands should be cautious of the content they are delivering during these sensitive times—both in their broadcast campaigns as well as their automated ones. From natural disasters to political instability, there are more reasons than ever to consider pausing campaigns. Make sure you've done the needed emergency planning to ensure you can act quickly, when needed.

Email Marketing in Flux

Email marketing is more powerful than ever, but the strategies and tactics needed to succeed are changing because of 3 mega-trends:

How to adapt
 
 
Without this kind of tagging, you're stuck with lots of data, but few insights.

Good Taxonomy Leads to Great Digital Marketing Optimization Opportunities

One key to unlocking lots of optimization opportunities is having a solid tagging taxonomy for your audience acquisition sources, calls-to-action, content types, and campaigns.

 
Taxonomy for the win

Say What?

 

“The format of your customer data is just as important as having the data. For instance, you might have 'annual spend' in your data set—only to discover it's a calculated field that breaks spend into buckets like $0-$100. That's useful, but not if you want to show a consumer their exact annual spend in a personalized communication. Sometimes, getting what you want will require some data development with tech teams.”
