EDITOR’S NOTE
T H E N E E D T O P O W E R
C U S T O M E R E X P E R I E N C Eata-driven marketing
and technology really
have one overarching
objective: Reach the
right people at the right
time with the right
message. That goal is nothing new
for marketers, but as the industry
evolves into focusing on customer
experience and personalization, the
underlying technology is the engine
that drives this transformation.
Adweek Intelligence’s 2019
NexTech survey shows an industry
at a crossroads. The technology
investments that businesses make
over the next 12 to 24 months will
create the foundation that ensures
the customer-centric makeover
necessary for sustainable, long-term
growth and marketing success. But
the road to prospering as a data-
driven marketing organization is
bumpy, and significant obstacles—
both market-driven and self-
inflicted—need to be overcome.
Marketing organizations are
committing the dollars to make this
happen. Three-quarters of marketers
anticipate their spending on ad tech,
marketing tech and programmatic
tools and platforms to increase in
2020, with 24% expecting to spend
significantly more. Those budgets are
going to try to solve the most pressing
data-driven marketing challenges,
which respondents identified as
measurement/metrics, the lack of
a clear data strategy and managing
siloed marketing data.
Marketers’ top technology
investment priorities? Measurement
and analytics tools (chosen by 68%)
which they’ll need to both gauge
the impact of their campaigns
and anticipate the needs of their
customers, and data management
platforms (43%), necessary to
organize, access and activate the
vast amounts of customer data
they’re collecting.
Ultimately, it all comes down to
experience. We know that customer
experience is what drives most
marketing efforts today. And the
survey respondents echoed that
importance, rating it (surprisingly) as
the most underrated topic in tech that
the industry constantly talks about.
Still, putting a focus on CX is hardly
effortless and painless. Impediments
are both technological and cultural.
On the one hand, 30% of respondents
said that unclear ownership of CX in
their organizations is their biggest
hindrance. They’re also stymied
because they can’t leverage the data
tools they already have, and because
their data strategies are substandard.
Of course, no discussion of data
can occur without concern over
looming regulation. There’s a clear
recognition of consumer concern over
data privacy. There’s also anxiety that
privacy directives are going to impact
how brands approach data-driven
marketing, especially as conventional
tactics like cookies and third-party
targeting could fall out of favor. Over
80% of brands, agencies and platforms
agreed that large tech companies need
to be regulated, an acknowledgement
of the power of the biggest providers.
And nearly three quarters agreed
that marketers and media buyers will
need to find alternatives to current
programmatic approaches. How that
develops is something everyone will
need to keep an eye on.

In June 2019, Adweek Intelligence
completed an online survey of
308 marketers. The goal was to find
out their insights and opinions on the
current state of data-driven marketing,
with a specific emphasis on the ad
tech, marketing tech and programmatic
challenges they’re facing, as well as
the impact of data privacy regulation.
All respondents were involved in
marketing for a brand, agency or
publisher/platform. Representatives
of ad tech and marketing tech vendors
were screened from the results.
he era of personalization
and experience is upon
us, and what that means
is that real people need
to be at the center of
your marketing. That’s
the essence of a modern, data-driven
approach, but very few organizations
are actually set up to succeed in this
environment. They lack clear strategies.
Their marketing data is siloed, disparate
and sometimes simply inaccurate.
They’re stuck in a culture that puts
channels, not customers, first.
The results of this Adweek
Intelligence study underscore the
importance of being a customer-
centric marketer, and also identify to
challenges that brands are facing in
actually making this happen.
There are two main impediments
brands are facing to achieve the
promise of customer-centric, people-
based marketing.
First, brands need to be able to
make sense of all of their existing
customer data. The truth is you know
more about your customers than
you’ve ever known before. The upside
to this is insights. The downside is
information overload.
Second, brands need to be able
to tie all of their marketing systems
to a common identity key. It’s pretty
simple. You need to know who your
customers are, how they behave,
what they like and what they want.
That means having a 360-degree
view of them, whether they’re online
or offline, no matter which device
they’re using or which channel
they’re accessing. If you’re still
depending on cookies, or identifying
them by web behaviors or email
addresses, you’re not talking to the
entirety of that customer. In other
words, customer-centricity starts
with an accurate, authoritative and
persistent identity for each and every
person.
Customer-centric marketing
starts with intelligence, and, as the
survey points out, measurement and
analytics is a key area of investment
for many marketing organizations. You
need to know everything about your
customers and prospects so you can
have a trusted two-way conversation
to learn what they’ve done, where
they’ve been and what they want.
It’s more important than ever to
analyze the entire customer journey,
so that you can build out the kinds
of experiences that create lasting
relationships.
Then there’s the issue of data
privacy, and that too links back
to being customer-centric. Think
about it. Consumers are becoming
increasingly adamant about protecting
their data in part because marketers
have failed to provide a fair exchange
in the form of great experiences.
Gaps in privacy and compliance come
from the lack of a cohesive data
strategy. Upcoming regulations will
increase the pressure on marketers to
consolidate disparate data silos and
affix a persistent ID to manage various
privacy requirements.
Identity resolution is the connective
tissue to build a complete view of
the customer and to make the data
you have actionable. Your entire
advertising and marketing stack
relies on this identity so you can
effectively plan, target, activate and
measure your tactics. The result?
You’ll know
what’s meaningful to your customers.
You’ll be able to create the kinds of
experiences that thrill and delight
them. You’ll be able to measure
the impact of these investments.
And you’ll be able to use these
journey-centric insights to optimize
your future tactics, become more
predictive and build the kind of long-
term value that defines business
success.

Budgets to boost ad tech, marketing
tech and programmatic stacks are
going to increase next year. Three
quarters of marketers indicated they
will be spending more on technology in
2020, with 24% saying they expect to
increase their spending by more than
25%. Just 6% expect to spend less.

What are the technology challenges
that are keeping marketers up at
night? Respondents surfaced a
number of obstacles impacting
their ability to execute their data-
driven marketing and advertising
programs. Topping the list is
measurement and metrics, followed
by two areas that are related—lack
of a clear marketing data strategy
and managing siloed data across
different marketing channels. Issues
of brand safety and transparency,
interesting, fell to the bottom of the
list of their concerns.

The good news is that the increased
technology budgets are going to go
to solving the data-driven challenges
marketers face. Measurement and
analytics tools are by far the top item
on marketers’ tech stack shopping
lists, as they need to make sense
of the myriad data points they’re
collecting across the online and offline
customer journey. Data management
platforms are also in their sights,
because there’s a growing need to
organize, optimize and activate the
data they already have.

T H E B A R R I E R S
T O B E T T E R
E X P E R I E N C E S
Marketers clearly acknowledge the
growing importance of providing a better
customer experience. But they also
recognize that they’re not there yet.
And this, again, relates back to the ability
to manage and activate their marketing
data. First off, organizations are hindered
in becoming more experience-focused
because it is still not clear who owns
CX within their organizations.
Many forward-thinking organizations
have put it under the purview of the CMO,
but this move may not be as common as
people think. Next, companies are being
held back because they’re not using the
data tools they already have or because
they lack a cohesive data strategy.
What do you think is impeding your ability to provide
a better customer experience?
Unclear ownership of customer
experience within organization
Difficulty personalizing marketing
Inability to fully leverage
data tools we already have
Lack of corporate commitment
to customer experience
Poor overall data strategy
Transparency of
customer journey
Unclear customer
experience strategy
Inability to consistently
identify consumers
Lack of available data tools
Unable to identify key
customer touchpoints

Data privacy regulation is coming
and it’s going to have an impact
on how brands approach their
strategies for ad tech, marketing
tech and programmatic advertising.
While 68% of marketers believe
consumers are extremely or very
concerned about data privacy,
they’re a little less concerned
personally about their own data
privacy. But they’re still anxious
over what the impact of data privacy
will be on their companies.

The EU’s General Data Protection
Regulation, or GDPR, which went into
effect in May 2018, served as a warm-up
for many brands that now have to deal
with upcoming directives like California’s
CCPA and potential emerging state,
federal and international laws. While
43% of respondents said they are fully
compliant with GDPR, they’re struggling
with CCPA, as just 13% say they’re
prepared for when that law takes effect
in January 2020. Also, note the high
number of respondents who just don’t
know if their organizations are compliant.
GDPR, the data privacy regulation in the EU, is now one year old.
How well do you feel your organization has managed GDPR compliance?
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will take effect
in 2020. How prepared are you for CCPA?

The advertising industry likes to talk
about the next big thing (because,
well, it’s the advertising industry).
That means that marketers are prone to
get caught up in the hype cycle in their
desire to stay on top of the latest trend.
We asked respondents to rate some of the
technology topics that people are talking
about. Underrated? Customer experience,
data privacy and journey management.
Overrated? VR/AR and blockchain.

top of mind, marketers have some clear
concerns about what the future will
look like. Over 80% agree that large
tech companies should be regulated.
Nearly three quarters feel like marketers

programmatic alternatives. 60% agree
that consumers will continue to revolt
against ad targeting. And a similar

Adweek 2019 Data-Driven Marketing at the Crossroads

  • 1. D A T A - D R I V E N M A R K E T I N G A T T H E C R O S S R O A D S 2 0 1 9 N e x T e c h S t u d y SPONSORED BY
  • 2. EDITOR’S NOTE T H E N E E D T O P O W E R C U S T O M E R E X P E R I E N C Eata-driven marketing and technology really have one overarching objective: Reach the right people at the right time with the right message. That goal is nothing new for marketers, but as the industry evolves into focusing on customer experience and personalization, the underlying technology is the engine that drives this transformation. Adweek Intelligence’s 2019 NexTech survey shows an industry at a crossroads. The technology investments that businesses make over the next 12 to 24 months will create the foundation that ensures the customer-centric makeover necessary for sustainable, long-term growth and marketing success. But the road to prospering as a data- driven marketing organization is bumpy, and significant obstacles— both market-driven and self- inflicted—need to be overcome. Marketing organizations are committing the dollars to make this happen. Three-quarters of marketers anticipate their spending on ad tech, marketing tech and programmatic tools and platforms to increase in 2020, with 24% expecting to spend significantly more. Those budgets are going to try to solve the most pressing data-driven marketing challenges, which respondents identified as measurement/metrics, the lack of a clear data strategy and managing siloed marketing data. Marketers’ top technology investment priorities? Measurement and analytics tools (chosen by 68%) which they’ll need to both gauge the impact of their campaigns and anticipate the needs of their customers, and data management platforms (43%), necessary to organize, access and activate the vast amounts of customer data they’re collecting. Ultimately, it all comes down to experience. We know that customer experience is what drives most marketing efforts today. And the survey respondents echoed that importance, rating it (surprisingly) as the most underrated topic in tech that the industry constantly talks about. Still, putting a focus on CX is hardly effortless and painless. Impediments are both technological and cultural. On the one hand, 30% of respondents said that unclear ownership of CX in their organizations is their biggest hindrance. They’re also stymied because they can’t leverage the data tools they already have, and because their data strategies are substandard. Of course, no discussion of data can occur without concern over looming regulation. There’s a clear recognition of consumer concern over data privacy. There’s also anxiety that privacy directives are going to impact how brands approach data-driven marketing, especially as conventional tactics like cookies and third-party targeting could fall out of favor. Over 80% of brands, agencies and platforms agreed that large tech companies need to be regulated, an acknowledgement of the power of the biggest providers. And nearly three quarters agreed that marketers and media buyers will need to find alternatives to current programmatic approaches. How that develops is something everyone will need to keep an eye on. Stephanie Paterik Executive Editor, Adweek D M E T H O D O L O G Y In June 2019, Adweek Intelligence completed an online survey of 308 marketers. The goal was to find out their insights and opinions on the current state of data-driven marketing, with a specific emphasis on the ad tech, marketing tech and programmatic challenges they’re facing, as well as the impact of data privacy regulation. All respondents were involved in marketing for a brand, agency or publisher/platform. Representatives of ad tech and marketing tech vendors were screened from the results.
  • 3. he era of personalization and experience is upon us, and what that means is that real people need to be at the center of your marketing. That’s the essence of a modern, data-driven approach, but very few organizations are actually set up to succeed in this environment. They lack clear strategies. Their marketing data is siloed, disparate and sometimes simply inaccurate. They’re stuck in a culture that puts channels, not customers, first. The results of this Adweek Intelligence study underscore the importance of being a customer- centric marketer, and also identify to challenges that brands are facing in actually making this happen. There are two main impediments brands are facing to achieve the promise of customer-centric, people- based marketing. First, brands need to be able to make sense of all of their existing customer data. The truth is you know more about your customers than you’ve ever known before. The upside to this is insights. The downside is information overload. Second, brands need to be able to tie all of their marketing systems to a common identity key. It’s pretty simple. You need to know who your customers are, how they behave, what they like and what they want. That means having a 360-degree view of them, whether they’re online or offline, no matter which device they’re using or which channel they’re accessing. If you’re still depending on cookies, or identifying them by web behaviors or email addresses, you’re not talking to the entirety of that customer. In other words, customer-centricity starts with an accurate, authoritative and persistent identity for each and every person. Customer-centric marketing starts with intelligence, and, as the survey points out, measurement and analytics is a key area of investment for many marketing organizations. You need to know everything about your customers and prospects so you can have a trusted two-way conversation to learn what they’ve done, where they’ve been and what they want. It’s more important than ever to analyze the entire customer journey, so that you can build out the kinds of experiences that create lasting relationships. Then there’s the issue of data privacy, and that too links back to being customer-centric. Think about it. Consumers are becoming increasingly adamant about protecting their data in part because marketers have failed to provide a fair exchange in the form of great experiences. Gaps in privacy and compliance come from the lack of a cohesive data strategy. Upcoming regulations will increase the pressure on marketers to consolidate disparate data silos and affix a persistent ID to manage various privacy requirements. Identity resolution is the connective tissue to build a complete view of the customer and to make the data you have actionable. Your entire advertising and marketing stack relies on this identity so you can effectively plan, target, activate and measure your tactics. The result? You’ll know what’s meaningful to your customers. You’ll be able to create the kinds of experiences that thrill and delight them. You’ll be able to measure the impact of these investments. And you’ll be able to use these journey-centric insights to optimize your future tactics, become more predictive and build the kind of long- term value that defines business success.

  • 4. Budgets to boost ad tech, marketing tech and programmatic stacks are going to increase next year. Three quarters of marketers indicated they will be spending more on technology in 2020, with 24% saying they expect to increase their spending by more than 25%. Just 6% expect to spend less. A S U R G E I N T E C H N O L O G Y S P E N D I N G How will your spending on ad tech, marketing tech and programmatic tools and platforms in 2020 compare to what you spent in 2019?

  • 5. What do you believe are the biggest challenges your company currently faces regarding data-driven marketing and advertising? Measurement and metrics Attribution Data privacy regulations Lack of a clear marketing data strategy Misinterpretation of data Finding reliable data partners Managing siloed data across different marketing channels Finding skilled/experienced employees Too much data Identifying customers/prospects across channels and devices Fraud and bot traffic Brand safety Lack of transparency Other 40% 32% 32% 25% 23% 20% 19% 18% 17% 14% 13% 10% 7% What are the technology challenges that are keeping marketers up at night? Respondents surfaced a number of obstacles impacting their ability to execute their data- driven marketing and advertising programs. Topping the list is measurement and metrics, followed by two areas that are related—lack of a clear marketing data strategy and managing siloed data across different marketing channels. Issues of brand safety and transparency, interesting, fell to the bottom of the list of their concerns. O V E R C O M I N G D A T A - D R I V E N H U R D L E S 3%
  • 6. Which of the following technologies do you consider your top investment priorities to achieve your data-driven marketing and/or advertising goals? Measurement and analytics tools Customer data platform (CDP) Data management platform (DMP) Demand-side platform (DSP) Journey/experience management platform Identity resolution Marketing automation platform Other 68% 43% 37% 31% 28% 21% 16% 2% I N V E S T M E N T The good news is that the increased technology budgets are going to go to solving the data-driven challenges marketers face. Measurement and analytics tools are by far the top item on marketers’ tech stack shopping lists, as they need to make sense of the myriad data points they’re collecting across the online and offline customer journey. Data management platforms are also in their sights, because there’s a growing need to organize, optimize and activate the data they already have. P R I O R I T I E S
  • 7. T H E B A R R I E R S T O B E T T E R E X P E R I E N C E S Marketers clearly acknowledge the growing importance of providing a better customer experience. But they also recognize that they’re not there yet. And this, again, relates back to the ability to manage and activate their marketing data. First off, organizations are hindered in becoming more experience-focused because it is still not clear who owns CX within their organizations. Many forward-thinking organizations have put it under the purview of the CMO, but this move may not be as common as people think. Next, companies are being held back because they’re not using the data tools they already have or because they lack a cohesive data strategy. What do you think is impeding your ability to provide a better customer experience? Unclear ownership of customer experience within organization Difficulty personalizing marketing Inability to fully leverage data tools we already have Lack of corporate commitment to customer experience Poor overall data strategy Transparency of customer journey Unclear customer experience strategy Inability to consistently identify consumers Lack of available data tools Unable to identify key customer touchpoints Concerns about how we collect and use data Lack of reliable data partners Other 30% 29% 29% 26% 24% 22% 19% 19% 18% 15% 14% 10% 3%
  • 8. How concerned are you about the impact data privacy regulation will have on your company? How concerned do you believe consumers are about data privacy? How concerned are you personally about your own data privacy? Somewhat concerned Not concerned Moderately concerned Extremely concerned Very concerned 30% 31% 23% 38% 25% 28% 24% 21% 28% 8% 16% 13% 6% 8% 1% Data privacy regulation is coming and it’s going to have an impact on how brands approach their strategies for ad tech, marketing tech and programmatic advertising. While 68% of marketers believe consumers are extremely or very concerned about data privacy, they’re a little less concerned personally about their own data privacy. But they’re still anxious over what the impact of data privacy will be on their companies. P R I V A C Y I S C O N C E R N E V E R Y O N E ’ S
  • 9. S T R U G G L I N G W I T H C O M P L I A N C E The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which went into effect in May 2018, served as a warm-up for many brands that now have to deal with upcoming directives like California’s CCPA and potential emerging state, federal and international laws. While 43% of respondents said they are fully compliant with GDPR, they’re struggling with CCPA, as just 13% say they’re prepared for when that law takes effect in January 2020. Also, note the high number of respondents who just don’t know if their organizations are compliant. GDPR, the data privacy regulation in the EU, is now one year old. How well do you feel your organization has managed GDPR compliance? The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will take effect in 2020. How prepared are you for CCPA? We are fully GDPR compliant Don’t know We are somewhat GDPR compliant We are not at all GDPR compliant 43% 28% 6% 23% Somewhat prepared: We are developing our strategies and will have everything in place shortly Not prepared: We are still unclear about how to proceed Very prepared: We have strategies and policies in place for how we will collect and use personal data Don’t know 13% 33% 28% 27%

That means that marketers are prone to get caught up in the hype cycle in their desire to stay on top of the latest trend. We asked respondents to rate some of the technology topics that people are talking about. Underrated? Customer experience, data privacy and journey management. Overrated? VR/AR and blockchain.
