The importance of goal-driven data

Anyone who works with digital mediums will always have some sort of fascination with metrics. One of the main pillars of sustainability for the advent of the digital age is the ability to measure and obtain data at a constant and up-to-date way that no other medium previously allowed. This allows for constant campaign optimisation and, of course, return on investment (ROI) evaluation. There’s nothing new with what I’ve just written – I’m basically stating the obvious.

Since metrics took an early stage in terms of value perception, most companies have been hoarding data in order to obtain the maximum amount of information possible from their campaigns – be it declarative or behavioural data. Every consumer input or interaction with brands is carefully being stored into vast databases that will then generate outputs, which brands can then use to optimise their communication or marketing efforts. This is the basic principle that originated what is today perceived as Big Data.
