What is Data Marketing?
Data Marketing Definition
Data Marketing is taking different data that your business has collected via avenues such as social media, google analytics, and sales using it to develop a buyer persona.
That buyer persona consists of customer demographics which are mined through the collected data. Demographics such as sex, age, income levels, family status, and app usage (including day, and time frame) are used to better understand potential buyers.
This collected data is used to develop compelling and emotionally responsive content that will evoke a response from potential customers.
Data Marketing is a very powerful tool if used correctly in content marketing creation.

Before you start reading Check the Ad out for yourself by clicking on one of the pills
For the upcoming release of The Matrix Resurrection, the 4th installment in the Matrix Franchise, the movie studio relaunched the first movie’s website whatisthematrix.com to act as an interactive marketing campaign.
Once a user enters the site, they are asked to make a choice between a red pill and a blue pill, a throwback to a scene in the original film. Once a pill is chosen, the user is brought to a mini trailer of the upcoming film.
The mini trailer changes depending on which pill the user changes, providing different peaks into the new film.
This is all a teaser to the actual trailer that was released a few days later.
Leaning on nostalgia -Top Marketing Data
The interactive campaign relies heavily on nostalgia from the first film.
Specifically this scene:
Why does the campaign lean into this nostalgia? They know that their target audience is going to react emotionally to it.
It’s a fun interactive ad that brings the movie to life. If you are in the target market you are going to like, share, and or retweet the ad, and it’s going to get further reach than just its core audience.
