Using data to drive business decisions is critical. Today, successful brand marketers are gaining a holistic view of the customer and their brand experience by connecting multifaceted data streams. According to Neustar, centralizing all available records and linking to a source of truth for offline identity can increase targetable reach by up to 200%.

For consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, this can be challenging. While most companies can assemble first-party consumer data in-house and use it to drive strategy, the distributed business model used by most CPGs can hinder—or even prevent—first-party data collection. Ultimately, this leaves CPG marketers dependent on distribution partners to share consumer data.

eMarketer was pleased to moderate a Tech-Talk Webinar featuring Neustar's Ryan Engle, head of product, customer intelligence, and Chris Hawk, director of advisory services. They explored the data strategies used by CPG marketers today, and offer ways for these businesses to improve.

Watch the webinar to learn:

• Align your current strategies to outcomes and avoid common pitfalls
• Identify opportunities for new markets, regions, locations, or products—even for unknown prospects
• Effectively manage your strategy, whether it’s to build a bigger offline identity repository or pivot to a digitally focused strategy that doesn’t rely on offline identity
