Customer Data Platforms (CDP). What, Why, How. An Overview of the Benefits.

I'm Paul Mosenson, Founder of NuSpark Consulting, a marketing optimization and lead generation consultancy.  Do you know what a CDP is? A customer data platform is a type of packaged software which creates a persistent, unified customer database that is accessible to other systems. Data is pulled from multiple sources, cleaned and combined to create a single customer profile. This structured data is then made available to other marketing systems.

My guest, David Raab, explains how CDPs work, and the strategy behind how companies can benefit from utilizing it properly to generate increased customer engagement and sales.  

David M.
