Joanne’s Column
What is data-driven marketing and why you should care
In today’s column I’m giving you a mini masterclass on data-driven marketing. It really is an under-utilised strategy in government and public sector. But as more public sector marketing pros develop their skills here here’s what your marketing will look like.
The OECD compiled a useful study called: The Path to Becoming a Data-Driven Public Sector
It says:
“Twenty-first century governments must keep pace with the expectations of their citizens and deliver on the promise of the digital age. Data-driven approaches are particularly effective for meeting those expectations and rethinking the way governments and citizens interact. This report highlights the important role data can play in creating conditions that improve public services, increase the effectiveness of public spending and inform ethical and privacy considerations. It presents a data-driven public sector framework that can help countries or organisations assess the elements needed for using data to make better-informed decisions across public sectors.”
I’ve developed an infographic to explain who data-driven marketing can support the digital transformation of government and public sector.
Do you use data-driven marketing in your agency, I’d love to discuss it. Tweet me at @JSTweetsDigital.
