We’ve talked about it more than once.
The ability to have millions of user information data at our disposal has changed the way we understand marketing.
And, in large part because of this, what is now known as digital marketing has emerged.
Data helps us make strategic decisions based on objective criteria.
In other words: we don’t do it based on our instincts and personal experience.
And you know one of the maxims of digital marketing: measure, measure and measure.
In this way, unlike traditional marketing, we can perform our actions by being more certain if they are actually impacting the target we want.
In short, data is essential in marketing, and we want to show you some of the most useful apps they have today.
However, let’s start at the beginning because… do you really know what Data Science is and how it differs, for example, from Big Data?
We’ll reveal everything in this article.
Started!
As the term suggests, Data science is the science that studies data.
But this general explanation leaves us with many doubts, what exactly does it mean?
Basically, it takes care of extracting information from large amounts of data and then interpreting and applying it, for example, in our Digital Marketing actions.
The goal of Data Science is to make decisions using a set of tools that allow knowledge to be extracted from the data.
Large data processing is not achieved only by using traditional analysis methods.
Data Science therefore involves programming, data mining, machine learning, statistical, mathematics, and data visualization skills, in addition to the business knowledge of the sector in which it is being applied.
It’s quite a world.
The concept of Big Data is used to describe large volumes of data.
Big Data includes structured data, semi-structured data, and unstructured data.
Don’t panic!
We tell you what they are.
Big Data and Data Science have undoubtedly transformed today’s digital and technological age.
Both terms are closely related to each other.
So much so that the main difference between them is that the concept of Data Science falls within the concept of Big Data.
Data Science is conducted within the realm of Big Data to gain useful information through predictive analytics, where results are used to make smart decisions.
Come on, without Big Data there wouldn’t be the concept of Data Science.
And without Data Science, Big Data would have no value.
Data Science, for its part, provides the methods or techniques for analyzing them.
Data is everywhere and grows incessantly.
But they don’t bring value in themselves.
It is necessary to assimilate them and extract useful information that facilitates decision-making within companies.
Specifically, in Marketing it helps to make strategic decisions.
The data is obtained through different channels:
And these are just some of the fonts used.
Our tastes, routines or movements generate data of great value for companies that want to know their customers in detail.
However, the interpretation of unstructured data does not add any value to companies.
For data interpretation, Data Science includes:
Data Science requires (in addition to analytical capacity) business knowledge and business vision to extract and transmit recommendations tailored to the needs of the company.
In today’s digital marketing world we have large amounts of information that we can extract through numerous channels:
These are just some of the channels from which we can extract information for our Digital Marketing and Inbound Marketing strategies.
But data is received in large volumes and at an ever faster rate, so if it is not known to interpret it effectively and at the right time, they lose all their value for the right decision-making and only generate one thing:
Chaos.
With a good implementation of Data Science,you can obtain crucial information and achieve levels of marketing segmentation and user interaction that until recently we could not have.
