Adobe Audience Manager is Adobe’s Data Management Platform or DMP. As a world leader in enterprise Data Management, Audience Manager is so powerful because it integrates seamlessly with many pre-existing advertising and analytics platforms, such as Google’s Double Click, Google Analytics, and tonnes of other third party programs.
The platform acts as a kind of ‘data on steroids’ mechanism that allows a company to pull in all of it’s 1st party data sources, such as web analytics, CRM and point of sale data – and mix this with 3rd and 2nd party data from partners and data-vendors. This enables a company to get a 360 degree view of the customer, to allow them to more reliably target users in their advertising efforts.
The Business Case
As a digital marketing professional your highest priority is helping your stakeholders deliver the relevant experience to the right customers, at the right time. But this requires collection and analysis of vast amounts of customer information stored within multiple databases, across marketing platforms.
Each of these generally come with their own segmentation tools. The result is that fragmented, disjointed messages are getting through to customers, leading to a scattered customer experience that threatens to annoying and frustrate the customer.
How do you combine and reconcile this disparate data into a single profile and deliver relevant and personalised customer experiences that work?
Adobe Audience Manager empowers marketers and agencies to optimally ingest, organise and manage data to create a true 360 degree view of customer profiles. The profiles can then be used to identify valuable customers segments and deliver powerful personalised experiences to them across any digital channel.
Gaining powerful insights of into customer characteristics, preferences and behaviours allows marketers to;
- reach and target high value audiences across digital media properties,
- support the customer journey,
- provide consistent messages across paid and owned channels and screens,
- identify new high-value prospects based on similar characteristics or behaviours
Let’s dive in to how Adobe Audience Manager deliveries capabilities for Digital Marketers and their agencies.
