This article took me back to high school, when I worked at The Gap! Every store would get the same playbook that determined what clothes were sold and how the store and merchandise should be laid out. I vividly remember stocking summer clothes in April, which makes sense for stores in California. But early spring in Seattle is still pretty chilly. I'm sure we would have sold more merchandise if we could have continued carrying sweaters and jeans rather than shorts in April, but we had zero flexibility. Flash forward (ahem) a few years, and now smart brands like Zara are betting big on data. Zara is putting data in the hands of store managers, giving them more control over their store’s inventory, displays and designs. Now, with access to in-store shopping data, store managers can see what’s working for them and merchandise appropriately, selling more based on the needs of the customers in their specific location. #data #retailtech #insights #datacollaboration

We all know that trust is the foundation of meaningful relationships. In B2B marketing, we can’t forget we’re communicating with people, not a company. So it's no surprise to see the value of brand and trust called out here. What’s interesting, though, is the significant shift in B2B buyer priorities. Trust and brand building have taken center stage, while demand generation and lead conversion have seen a decline in focus compared to 2023. My takeaway? As business and marketing leaders, we cannot lose sight of building the brand. It’s a slow, steady, long-term investment that takes discipline to build.

You know when you're talking to someone and you can literally feel their energy and excitement about the work they're doing? That's what it was like talking to Caroline Liu from Walgreens Advertising Group today at #AWNewYork. She helped launch Walgreens's retail media network (RMN) in 2020 and has great advice for anyone considering the same: 1. Get your data house in order for advertisers to extract maximum value 2. Spend time building your RMN business case to get buy-in across the organization 3. Find the right partners that will help you not just succeed, but crush it 4. Be quick and agile. (Hint: Be okay with not-perfect) Thanks for joining me on stage, Caroline! Looking forward to the continued success of the Walgreens Advertising Group and LiveRamp partnership!

Ha! Well, let me tell you WTF data collaborations are. They’re essentially partnerships that allow you to combine the data you have with the data you’d like to have in a secure, privacy-protecting environment. Collaboration partners could be internal in order to help break down business silos within the enterprise organization. Or they could also be external – for instance, brands, publishers, or other data partners that can help uncover deep insights allowing marketers to maximize the impact of their advertising efforts. Data collaboration is the future and the future is now!

I post a lot about the value of data collaboration, which is essentially combining the data a company has with the data they’d like to have–in a secure, privacy-protecting environment. But this article takes a deeper spin, discussing how data collaboration is essentially what has helped humans evolve as a species. Yeah, deep: “The tapestry of innovation is still interwoven with strands of shared information. However, those strands have evolved into the complex fibers of data. When effectively harnessed, data unlocks a wealth of opportunities for growth and customer satisfaction.” Great article! Worth the read.

Alright marketers, the challenge is familiar: We have more ways than ever to engage with our audiences, but measuring what works is where it gets tricky. With 90% of the world’s data created in just the last two years, it feels like we're drowning in data. And because of all sorts of factors, getting a clear picture of media performance is a huge challenge. That’s why modern marketers need to have a comprehensive measurement strategy. Without it, you’re flying blind. Data collaboration allows you to get data from all the platforms you're advertising on and measure how those platforms compare and which combinations of ads work best to move someone through the buying journey. I think this primer on measurement strategies can help you rise to the challenge!

I appreciate Rob Wolf's annual post about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In my heart, I choose to believe most people value #inclusion, and therefore it's important to share information that leads to more inclusion. I know I'm always looking to get more educated. There's a lot to learn, and I truly feel my colleagues and friends are so respectful. Thanks to all of you. ❤️
It’s that time of year again! My seventh annual workplace #inclusion tip about the Jewish High Holidays - Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These are the two most significant holidays of the year in Judaism. Do your Jewish colleagues a favor and don't schedule that big meeting, exec review, or product announcement over them. Since Judaism follows a lunar calendar, these holidays fall on different days every year. This year, the first day of Rosh Hashanah (the most widely observed) is on 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯. Yom Kippur is on Saturday, October 12 - so you're off the hook for that one. Now, if you want to get technical (and my friends will if I don't), Jewish holidays start at sundown the night before the day they're observed. Rosh Hashanah is typically a joyous holiday. It's a time of togetherness with family and community. It's a time of reflection and renewal. But this year has been anything but typical for Jews worldwide. Casting a shadow over our joy is the upcoming anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. About 1,200 people were murdered that day - people of all religions and dozens of nationalities. An estimated 60 hostages are still being held by Hamas, including four Americans, as well as the remains of 35 more who were murdered in captivity. So, while we're enjoying a festive meal, we'll hold a place at the table and in our hearts for the families who aren't so lucky. There are other nuances and additional holidays that will be observed by more religious Jews this time of the year, but Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the biggies!

1yI strongly agree Jessica Shapiro. Item-level visibility throughout its supply chain is the essential enabler of Zara’s data-informed optimization of adaptive manufacturing operations, distribution center and in-store inventory, locally-relevant floor merchandizing, fitting room analytics, automated self-checkout, loss prevention, returns, and many other shopper experiences. Data collaboration is the ‘next-level’ innovation that powers optimized cross-channel customer acquisition, engagement, purchases, and overall brand delight. #wirelessIoT #rainrfid Impinj LiveRamp
