Welcome back to Campaign Asia-Pacific's Crash Course learning series, in which you will learn valuable lessons and practical business tips on trending and essential topics from industry experts in just five minutes. Think of it as a mini mini MBA, if you will.
Lessons will cover the breadth of the marcomms industry, including technology, creative, media, strategy, leadership, diversity and inclusion and more. We'll start off by introducing you to larger topics and delve deeper into specific elements in the future. This series is designed to be useful to C-suite executives as well as those just starting out in their careers.
The 36th lesson in the Crash Course series will delve in data management platforms (DMPs) and customer data platforms (CDPs). These technologies enable brands to develop a more holistic customer view so they can derive more actionable insights and deliver relevant messaging across paid and owned marketing channels. But there is much confusion in the industry regarding the similarities and differences between the two platform types.
This Crash Course aims to demystify the subject by providing a high-level review of each platform type, the current state of play for each, and how to evaluate them in a world where legacy anonymous identifiers, such as third-party cookies and mobile device IDs, will be rendered largely inert.
In this lesson you will learn:
- What is a CDP and a DMP.
- How both platforms are evolving.
- What the future of CDPs and DMPs may look like.
- How buyers and agencies can prepare for the future.
