Connections bring together a combination of ease-of-use and precision for collecting and analyzing customer journey data. The seamless integrations allow marketers to streamline the process of pulling in cost data and tracking first-party data across all digital channels. For example, the Connection with Google Ads provides information such as campaign cost data and keywords to provide a more exact account of performance metrics such as ROAS, CPC, CPA and CAC. Additionally, unlike other solutions that have a “walled” approach to sharing data outside of its ecosystem, Connections provide an agnostic alternative that encompasses integrations with various media sources for an end-to-end view of multi-channel measurement and the customer journey on a unified dashboard.

The ability to gain a complete view of the customer journey depends on the integration of data from multiple sources, campaigns and touchpoints. According to Forbes research, 88 percent of marketers surveyed use data obtained by third parties to enhance their understanding of each customer. Additionally, companies that adopt data-driven marketing are more likely to have an advantage over the competition and increase profitability. In fact, according to the Forbes study, they are six times more likely to be profitable year-over year.

“With the industry landscape becoming more complex, marketers are more focused than ever on using data-driven insights to better understand their customers and boost their overall competitive advantage,”said Pierini. “Connections provide a clear solution for enterprises that struggle to collect and analyze digital marketing data across multiple sources. We will continue to evolve our ecosystem and work closely with our integration partners to ensure our customers can easily and quickly leverage data for cross-channel marketing intelligence.”
