Behind the scenes: New Zephr report lifts the curtain on successful first-party data strategies
A new report from subscription management platform Zephr provides a practical guide on how to successfully leverage first-party data. Featuring direct case studies from Zephr clients, as well as an analysis of wider industry practices and trends, the FREE publication focusses on how publishers can be at the forefront of the digital shift away from cookies.
‘According to a Winterberry group whitepaper,’ begins the report, ‘90% of executive-level professionals, including marketers and publishers, say that audience data has driven at least “some” value in supporting unique competitive advantage for their organisation, with 32% adding that it has driven “substantial” competitive advantage.’
‘Stats like that make it clear that leveraging data in the right way has the power to create breakaway results. So if that’s the case, how can businesses ensure their data is driving substantial competitive distinction?’
Drawing from a diverse range of client case studies, the study examines four key ways in which data has been successfully utilised by digital publishers to accelerate growth and help futureproof their businesses:
