How to move to a first-party marketing strategy. It’s time for marketers to consider moving away from third-party data strategies. Most marketers are well aware of the increase in privacy regulations over their data collection activities. These laws, such as the GDPR and CCPA, are designed to protect the privacy of consumers. But they’re also causing marketing teams to shift away from strategies centered on third-party data. “The core of the shift is really moving from targeting consumers using third-party data to knowing consumers very well,” said Giusy Buonfantino, VP of CPG Industry Solution at Google Cloud, in her MarTech presentation. She added, “Personalize experiences and do it in a way that’s privacy-centric, protecting the choices of the consumer.” Overreliance on third-party data and a lack of transparency decrease consumer trust in brands, part of the reason this shift is needed. Brands need to deliver personalized experiences based on the data their audience consents to share.

Chip Flory: Your Guide to Goal-Based Marketing.

The concept of “goal-based marketing” is easy to understand. The strategy links the sale of crops or livestock to a goal for your business. It could be buying equipment, paying off debt, herd expansion, — even retirement. It’s a strategy to employ at a time when markets are offering opportunities to book profits. (In break-even years, avoiding a loss might be all the goal you need). It’s the lack of execution that can turn a goal-based marketing strategy into another delayed equipment upgrade. Most often, the error is made early in the process rather than when it’s time to make sales.
