The science of marketing has become increasingly, well, scientific.*
Given the revelation that hyper targeted marketing is more effective marketing, it’s ** surprise that almost every marketing department or digital agency out there will tell you they’re “data-driven.” But at this point, “data-driven” marketing is more of a minimum requirement than a differentiator. Without data supporting them, marketing recommendations would be ** better than opinions, and analyzing ROI would be imprecise, at best. But if every marketer is incorporating data into his or her campaigns, why is it that most marketing messages, ** matter how they’re delivered to consumers, seem to be forgotten within a matter of seconds?
