Table of contents

+  Marketers are optimistic about the future of data management and what it promises from an efficiency, scale, targeting and performance perspective. Quite simply, the prospect of better integrated data management platforms (DMPs) means marketers will spend more to achieve better insights and campaign results.

+  The major fork in the road for DMPs today is whether they continue as standalone entities or integrate into a larger technology stack. A majority of respondents said they favor consolidating all of their data management with single partner and 50% said they currently have a dedicated DMP.

+  Programmatic integration is the most important DMP selection factor for marketers. It’s also the area where respondents were most satisfied with current partners.

+  Data management vendors need to deliver strongly against the six core Industry Index ratings criteria—innovation, value, service, collaboration, scalability and performance/ROI, with performance and scalability the most important selection factors—in order to win consideration and continued business from buyers.

Executive summary

+  This report consists of two parts. Between April 29 and May 22, 2015, verified marketers were first asked to rate a selection of 15 vendors according to the six standard Industry Index ratings criteria. The rankings in this report reflect the position of these vendors on the Industry Index leaderboard as of May 22, 2015, the day the study concluded.

+  After rating vendors, marketers were asked to complete a brief survey to indicate: –  Their current and future spending plans for data

management platforms –  The importance of six criteria as they relate to choosing

a data management partner –  The importance of and their satisfaction with nine

capabilities and seven objectives associated with data management

+  Industry Index is vendor-agnostic. We do not make recommendations. Likewise, every company has an equal opportunity to compete for industry recognition on our platform. The vendor rankings in this report solely reflect the opinions of marketers who are either current or former clients of the profiled companies or who have evaluated the companies.

Methodology

SURVEY FINDINGS

Over half of respondents (55%) indicated they currently leverage data management platforms as part of their media strategy.

Nearly 40% said they do not currently leverage a DMP but plan to do so. Of those planning to incorporate data management into their media strategy, 57% said they plan to do so within the next six months and 88% said they plan to do so in the next year.

In today’s highly ROI-focused environment, effective collection, management and utilization of customer data are no longer nice-to-haves; they’re now strategic imperatives. +  Q: Do you currently leverage data management platforms (DMPs) as

part of your media strategy? / N=88

A majority of marketers are leveraging DMPs

I work with DMPs through my existing platforms!

Among marketers currently leveraging DMPs as part of their media strategy, half (50%) said they have a dedicated partner.

The other half of those currently leveraging DMPs said they work with data management platforms through their existing partners, such as agency trading desks (a common scenario) and other strategic third parties.

The split in the market suggests an important juncture for DMPs: Do they go it alone (and can they succeed in today’s increasingly converged market) or do they integrate into a larger technology stack?

+  Q: Do you have a dedicated data management technology platform or partner? / N=48

Fork in the road for DMPs: Standalone or integrated offering?

50% I have a dedicated DMP!

50%

This reflects the split between marketers who work with a dedicated DMP and those working with DMPs through other ad-technology partners.

On average, respondents said they work with three data management partners, but there was a segment (approximately 10% of those surveyed) who said they worked with four or more data management partners.

The bottom line for vendors in this burgeoning space: Marketers’ campaign and data needs are expanding as data becomes a more valuable marketing currency. DMPs need to innovate—and, if necessary, partner—to meet those growing needs.

+  Q: How many data management partners do you currently work with? / N=45

Average anticipated increase in data management spending over the next 12 months!

Among marketers currently leveraging DMPs as part of their media strategy, the average share of current media budgets allocated to data management is 24%.

On average, marketers already spending on DMPs anticipate increasing their expenditures on data management by 26% over the next 12 months, confirming a commonly heard refrain: The business of today’s businesses is data.

Those not currently spending on data management but planning to do so in the next 12 months said they anticipate allocating 29% of their media budgets to it. +  Q: What percentage of your current media budgets are allocated to

Innovation!

After sharing their current and future spending outlook, respondents ranked the importance of six criteria when selecting a data management partner.

The six criteria—Innovation, Value, Service, Collaboration Scalability and Performance/ROI—are the same ones marketers use to evaluate and rate companies on the Industry Index.

Survey results suggest that DMPs need to deliver strongly against all six criteria—with performance, scalability and value the standouts—to win consideration and continued business from buyers. +  Q: How important are the following criteria when selecting a data

Marketers on average are fairly satisfied with their current DMP’s ability to provide a comprehensive view of their data and analytics across all the channels they manage.

On a scale of one to 10, respondents gave their current providers an average of six, suggesting there is still work to be done in terms of offering a complete view of their customers’ digital behaviors and actions.

+  Q: How satisfied are you with your current data management platform's ability to provide you a unified view of your data and analytics across the channels you manage? / N=46

Use of data management is far from uniform. Display—and to a lesser extent, mobile—is the channel where data management applications are most prevalent.

Marketer usage of data management lagged for social and search, at 34% and 26%, respectively. These results suggest marketers still have a ways to go before comprehensively incorporating audience and customer data from their data management partners.

Another way to put it: Data silos remain in effect. +  Q: Across which of the following channels do you employ data

+  Respondents were enthusiastic about the promise of data management, particularly around a few core opportunities: –  Greater campaign efficiencies and scalability

from consolidating multiple data sources in a single platform

–  Improved audience insight, segmentation and targeting capabilities

–  Better ability to reach audiences, personalize messaging and attribute actions across channels and devices

+  Looking toward the future, respondents anticipated reporting output improvements (making insights from multiple data sources more digestible), tighter integration with DSPs and other key components of the the ad-technology stack, enhanced creative optimization capabilities and ultimately, greater ROI.

+  Q: What do you consider the biggest opportunity within data management? / N=64

Marketers see opportunities to gain efficiencies through data management

+  A total of 88 experienced marketers completed an online survey on data management between April 29 and May 22, 2015. Respondents who completed the survey were given $10 incentives. All respondents were verified through the Industry Index platform.

+  The bulk of respondents (86%) indicated they work for agencies; the remaining 14% indicated they work brand- or client-side.

+  Respondents comprised a mixture of executives (VP-level and above), strategists, media buyers and planners and marketing leaders, with approximately 33% indicating titles that were director-level or above. The majority of respondents were highly experienced, with 54% indicating 6+ years of experience.

Respondent profile

SECTOR ANALYSIS

+  Effective data management depends in large part on two key factors: scale and performance. On the question of scale in data management, two heavyweights—DoubleClick (Google) and Facebook—loom large over the DMP space. Both offer unrivaled scale and access to the kinds of intent data that is so valuable for marketing campaigns.

+  Integration is also a key consideration for buyers when it comes to DMPs: What data sources are they compatible with and how seamlessly do they connect with other components of the burgeoning marketing technology stack? In the face of competitors that boast size, scale and access to a broader suite of services, smaller or standalone DMPs may find a difficult road ahead, especially when marketers say they favor greater consolidation among their technology partners.

+  Of course, vast scale can be incompatible with the kind of dedicated service and collaboration respondents said they prefer. On balance, however, the more vertically integrated DMPs received solid marks on service, and any complaints were hardly exclusive to the bigger players.

Sector analysis
