“In a hyper-competitive marketing landscape where agility and speed are critical, it no longer makes sense for your customer data to live in a separate data store. By activating data directly from the enterprise data platform, marketers eliminate complexity of managing integrations that lead to latency and poor campaign performance”
“Today’s data-driven marketers require platforms that accelerate experimentation and personalization while reducing Total Cost of Ownership, without increasing security risk. With this joint solution, marketers will have more powerful tools than ever at their disposal,” said Boris Jabes, CEO at Census. “We have been the pioneer of making data actionable for customer-facing teams, and we’re excited to be working with Snowflake’s innovative technology as we enter the next phase of that journey.”
Data volumes have exploded and organizations are increasingly adopting cloud data platforms to scale operations, accelerate performance, and control costs. Previously, marketers faced challenges activating personalized customer experiences because their data was fragmented across dozens of marketing systems.
Building Audience Hub on Snowflake has allowed Census to give joint customers the ability to leverage a single, unified source of truth for data activation and reverse ETL. With direct access to 360° customer data in the Snowflake Data Cloud, marketers can easily create, explore, and manage segments across all their data with near-zero maintenance and enhanced data security.
“In a hyper-competitive marketing landscape where agility and speed are critical, it no longer makes sense for your customer data to live in a separate data store.
