Data Sourcing Framework

Data Aggregation

At Merkle, we believe marketers should have access to the entire data landscape to determine the optimal mix of data that will maximize their marketing performance. Our “data agnostic” approach enables us to evaluate all the available data in the marketplace without being tied down to one source.

Data Optimization

Merkle defines data content as data that has predictive, descriptive, or business value and drives improved marketing results. In the Content Lab Environment, we leverage our analytical discipline and database operations to continuously evaluate and optimize our clients’ marketing universes.

As person-level advertising takes a front seat in CRM strategy, Merkle continues to lead the way. Merkle's Targeted Media Solution is the first of its kind print ad network that combines the segmentation of direct mail with the cost efficiencies of insert media to provide individually-targeted and cost-effective advertising.
