When putting together intelligence-based audience segments for ad campaigns, with hundreds of potential data sources to choose from, what goes into finding, say, “Detroit moms who love hockey and buy high heels at the local mall” is often an unwieldy process. Big brands, with so many different marketing teams, agencies and groups buying media, regularly make thousands of data choices. Big data helps marketers understand customer preferences, how people shop offline and their digital behaviors.
