Personalised experiences through data
Millions of guests are welcomed each year by one of Europe's biggest entertainment companies. They generate revenue from ticket sales online and in their physical locations, as well as food and beverage sales. Automated campaigns and personalised marketing activities were delivered through a marketing platform. In order to improve customer experience and increase sales, a more data-driven approach to marketing and customer management was to be implemented.
As a starting point, the company wanted to explore how data could be used to improve customer and campaign management. As a first step, the company had to address its data infrastructure challenges. To deliver a truly omnichannel customer experience, all data sources needed to be gathered and streamlined to create a solid, scalable foundation. Accessibility to all data types and formats was essential. Data infrastructure must be integrated with existing platforms, tools, and solutions and accessible to multiple users (employees) with different needs. Future-proof data infrastructure must support future investments in data analytics.
A holistic platform
To meet the challenge, Halfspace built and implemented a data-lake, based on Microsoft Azure technology, that integrated all relevant and available data sources. The set-up ensures that the unified data is ready for future analysis directly from the data-lake, which also feeds the omnichannel marketing platform with new consistent data.
The company is now able to personalise marketing activities with even more relevant content and campaigns by identifying audience profiles and matching these with the relevant contextual data and content.
A tailored message
Based on Microsoft Azure technology, Halfspace built and implemented a data-lake that integrated all relevant and available data sources. In addition to providing new consistent data to the omnichannel marketing platform, the set-up ensures that unified data can be analysed directly from the data-lake.
Now marketing activities can be tailored even more. Identifying audience profiles and matching them with relevant contextual data and content allows campaigns to be customised.
Data-driven customer experiences require a solid and scalable data infrastructure. By enriching customer data with marketing intelligence, companies achieve a deeper understanding of their customers and use that insight to develop highly targeted marketing campaigns. This will lead to increase in revenue, higher rentention and satisfied customers.
