How do we create a more agile system while still respecting the privacy of our audience? Let’s start by talking about what’s broken in the status quo, writes Ted Sweetser, VP of ad sales at PurpleLab.
If your marketing strategy isn’t data-driven, you’re not alone. Data has played a role in advertising for decades, going back to market research focus-grouping to understand feedback on branding. In the health care space, however, data is often underutilized due to fragmented systems and a lack of integration between marketing and clinical data. With over 97% of health care data still untapped, vast opportunities for creative, targeted solutions remain undiscovered.
If you’ve shied away from incorporating social media and influencers into your marketing strategy, now is the time to rethink your approach. There’s never been a better moment to use these powerful channels to promote your brand – especially if you’re in the health care and pharmaceutical space.
Data platform Dstillery released a contextual solution with healthcare analytics company PurpleLab to help pharma advertisers target audiences without third-party cookies. The tool uses ID-less signals, such as URL, time of day of web visits and regional location, then uses that data to find patterns in online behavior that are associated with specific health conditions.
