What’s more, the process of data consolidation delivers more than just GDPR compliance; it brings companies closer to meeting the ultimate goal of marketing: creating a 360-degree view of consumers. Traditionally, data has typically been siloed — for example, online and offline information is often stored separately, and channels are also further divided; with mobile, website, and email data frequently held within different databases. Yet this approach makes it hard to build a single picture of individuals or their journeys. As a result, it’s also difficult for marketers to create messages that resonate with specific consumers and form part of a consistently engaging cross-channel experience.
