Enrich Your Snowflake Data with Iterable’s AI-Powered Insights

Iterable is enhancing its Snowflake Secure Data Sharing integration with AI-Powered User Insights like Brand Affinity™ and Predictive Goals. Eligible marketers can design better in-product experiences to boost loyalty for customers tagged as “Neutral” by Iterable’s Brand Affinity™, which classifies users based on their engagement levels with a brand’s communications. Marketers can also combine Predictive Goals, which analyzes historical data to forecast which users are more likely to convert on business objectives in the future, with other business or product data in their Snowflake account to see how various in-product experiences influence engagement and conversion rates for specific custom events and customer segments. These AI-powered insights are now automatically added as part of the user profile data update for the Snowflake Secure Data Sharing integration, enabling marketers to make more informed decisions to unlock impactful business outcomes and achieve ROI at an accelerated pace.

“More and more marketers are migrating their marketing data to the cloud and want to activate that data across channels to drive outcomes, as well as analyze the performance of those activations,” said David Wells, Media and Advertising Industry Principal at Snowflake. “Iterable and Snowflake are helping marketers accomplish those goals in a faster, more efficient manner.”
