In today’s techage, marketing is undergoing a paradigm shift. The days of generic, mass advertising are long gone. Modern consumers crave personalization while being more actively concerned with their privacy than ever before.
But there is a so-called third space solution that combines the both and drives forward digital marketing in the new era: personalized videos. Delivered with zero party mechanisms, personalized videos are the zenith of consumer-centric digital marketing. Let’s explore how this synergy is the gold standard for targeted marketing campaigns.
Zeroing in: the power of zero party data
At its core, zero party data is data that a customer consciously and willingly shares with a brand. Unlike first, second or third party data, derived from user interactions, behaviours or vendors, zero party data emerges from a place of trust and explicit user consent. Its magnetism for digital marketers lies in a clear combination of two advantage points:
Zero party data is collected more directly and brands get the goldmine: the most specific, up-to-date and most valuable consumer insights. With these, brands can better understand target customers and can craft more valuable messaging and conduct granular analysis and optimization of campaigns.
