    In this video, I'm gonna show you how
    to leverage your data into results

    for your brand immediately and
    how to make you shine while

    avoiding all the pitfalls that
    big data can suck you into.

    This means turning your data
    into actionable tasks for sales

    and marketing team to
    execute so you can move into

    predictable revenue as
    quickly as possible.

    Google tweeted my recent article
    on how Noble Digital does data,

    so we do know a thing or two about
    how to get your data to perform magic.

    Definitely check it out as it
    goes into an overview of the

    most neglected and
    critical part of data,

    which is making data actionable
    so you can get better performance.

    Whether you're a business unit
    in charge of a specific product

    like our clients at New Balance
    or Mutual of Omaha or perhaps a

    full marketing division at
    the subscription based food

    delivery company Plated,

    or a large sales force at the
    b to b SaaS platform, TeleSign,

    and many more we've served.

    B to c, b to b, the point is

    every successful business has
    to get the following elements

    right if they wanna
    scale to a predictable,

    rapidly growing customer
    acquisition system.

    Problem number one,
    skipping steps.

    Jumping to campaign without
    a creative strategy.

    If you look back at
    Noble Digital's roadmap,

    it's easy to see that successful
    marketing is a step by step process.

    Brands almost always wanna jump
    into number seven, campaigns,

    or number eight, content hubs,
    because that's the fun stuff.

    Without using your data to
    help you define your market position

    or know what your
    campaign messaging should be about,

    your campaigns and your content won't
    be effective and won't get traction.

    If you are already
    dominating a certain market,

    that still doesn't mean that
    your current message will scale

    and attract new audiences
    that you wanna reach out to.

    So any one of these steps in
    the process could be stalling

    your success if you're not
    giving it the proper attention.

    We use data to help you
    identify where you're getting

    stuck or where you
    need to optimize

    and unlock it, which
    leads to my next point.

    Problem number two, wrong
    people doing wrong jobs.

    We have friends that
    work strictly in media,

    and you know what their
    biggest complaint is?

    Lack of good creative
    to run the media with.

    Their client is expecting them
    to optimize problems like this.

    This is what you get from
    Facebook when your campaigns

    are not performing.

    Facebook's trying to help them
    fix your performance problem

    using media placement
    and timing tactics.

    Basically, the twenty percent lever
    I've shared before versus actually

    addressing the eighty
    percent lever, your message,

    which is the biggest lever
    you have in this situation.

    Understand that media partners
    and media platforms like

    Facebook and Instagram or even
    YouTube don't know how to take

    your data and help you develop a
    brand message that will perform.

    They just sell space.

    This is no different than a
    billboard on the side of the

    road, to be honest.

    Would you expect an outdoor
    media company to come up with

    what your brand sign should say
    and what it should look like?

    If not, then why are you expecting your
    media partners to handle this for you?

    Wrong people doing wrong jobs.

    Problem number three,
    poor positioning.

    If your position in
    the marketplace is off,

    everything else you build
    will also be out of alignment.

    This can be devastating for
    a brand, even a mature one.

    How confident are you that
    you've been using your data to

    its full potential to help
    inform a strong market position

    against new competitors
    in your space?

    So skipping any one of these three
    steps in the process could be fatal.

    But especially if you neglect
    your position and your message

    because that will almost ensure
    that your content will be

    ignored by the very people
    who you want to see it.

    So I'm gonna share some
    steps to help eliminate these

    problems and turn your
    data into dollars.

    Before I do, let
    me quickly recap.

    You might not know what
    to do with your data,

    or you might not be able to do
    what you want with your data.

    Most marketers only look at data
    through the lens of numbers.

    Are we winning or are we losing?

    And they fail to realize how
    much more opportunity and depth

    that data holds for them.

    Noble's roadmap helps you
    uncover the right insights from

    your data and turn it
    into the right message,

    which produces
    the right results.

    And now that you understand
    that your message is carrying

    the biggest lever
    for performance,

    you might start to realize
    you have problems across your

    entire online presence.

    And that's because
    you have to admit,

    you've probably been ignoring
    the quality of your message for

    far too long and
    getting away with it.

    Perhaps you've been more
    worried about trying to get a

    cheaper click or getting the
    latest and greatest tech stack.

    This means that a message that is
    good enough is no longer good enough.

    It also means that slapping
    together a ton of cheap assets

    generated by an AI platform and
    throwing it against the wall

    and hoping for the best is not
    the right way to go about this,

    as much as I would
    love to believe that.

    But I have some good news.

    Here are a few steps to help
    you approach all these elements

    with the right focus.

    Step one, degree of shift.

    Ask yourself, what degree of shift are
    you looking to make in the coming year?

    How much are you ready to
    invest to fix this problem?

    How much of a bite are
    you willing to take?

    Resolve what degree
    of shift you need,

    whether it's transformational
    or maintaining status quo.

    Incremental changes tend to
    point towards vendors and lever

    pullers to continue managing
    what is already working.

    You might tap into conversion
    rate optimization to squeeze

    out some incremental wins,

    but we're still talking
    about a small change.

    Or perhaps you've grown
    for years and now you have

    plateaued, and now you
    need to scale your audience

    or even seek a new one.

    Or maybe you need to
    make a shift that's more

    transformational.

    For example, is Amazon eating your
    lunch in the search game and you have to

    go beyond direct response?

    I've seen twenty,

    fifty billion dollar
    companies having this issue.

    They need to build a brand or
    even a complete rebrand if your

    current position is not
    working like it used to.

    Substantial shifts like this
    require in-depth analysis of

    your data and problem solving
    to move into custom design

    solutions, which is
    where we specialize.

    So answering the level of shift
    you need to make gives you an

    idea of what kind of investment
    you need to make and what kind

    of partners you'll
    be looking for.

    Collaboratively, we can establish
    where you need to make changes,

    and we can make them together.

    If you're not a
    hundred percent sure,

    then keep in mind what a
    global pioneer in strategy and

    implementation said.

    Short term implementation
    is incremental.

    Long term is transformational.

    Step two, the sales cycle.

    Understand what the user needs
    are in your customer journey.

    This will help you focus your
    budget, time, and resources.

    Is your biggest issue churn
    rate within the retention phase

    or is it before conversion?

    Meaning, you need to increase
    customer acquisition.

    Perhaps you need to reach more
    of a potential market with a

    new type of message.

    This is what we're
    often called in the do.

    Whatever you need, we've got
    all our resources behind you.

    Step three, right
    people doing right jobs.

    Admitting that you have more to
    dig into with your data can be

    a tough pill to swallow.

    But if anything I've covered here
    today has resonated with you,

    then you full well know that
    data holds the key to your

    success if you can decipher it.

    So instead of expecting siloed teams
    to know how to build your plan,

    bring in a partner like Noble
    Digital early on when you're

    strategizing or planning
    your annual goals.

    This will help sort things out
    accurately versus setting out a

    generic RFP filled with bullet
    points around best practices

    and little to no insights
    from the actual data.

    And then you're hoping to
    attract the right partner?

    RFPs make the most sense
    when things are going really

    well, and you're only seeking vendors
    to support incremental changes.

    Forrester analysis has made
    it clear in their own report.

    Rather than bolting creative on
    at the end of a process as an

    established look or defined
    list of deliverables,

    initiate the project with
    creative problem solving to

    help define the problem and
    craft a solution at the start.

    The start means strategy
    and planning phases.

    Now you might be thinking, Alan,

    I would love to get more
    creative, but my boss, my CEO,

    getting alignment and consensus
    from your executive team can

    often be a challenge.

    This is exactly why we do
    facilitation with shareholders

    involved every step of the way.

    They just wanna have say in
    the development of your project

    versus being shocked and
    surprised months later.

    Facilitation makes a big
    difference in exploring deeper

    possibilities so that
    nothing is left on the table.

    Imagine getting everyone in
    the room and in one afternoon,

    getting decisions made
    in full alignment.

    This comes from having a
    strong foundation of good data because

    you're basing your decision on
    figures rather than just feelings.

    You wanna balance of both.

    So instead of generic recommendations
    from a business strategy,

    like let's increase prospect
    engagement by fifty percent

    within one year, which
    is hardly actionable.

    Noble works to deliver
    an actionable plan that will

    propel engagement and growth.

    Something like, we need a program
    to help engage prospects using a

    Facebook chatbot,

    which our customer support can
    easily interact with once a

    customer engagement score
    hits a specific level.

    Imagine being that crystal
    clear with your team in the

    strategy and planning phase.

    Imagine how much
    you'll get done.

    Once again, it's data
    led decision making,

    feeling better collaboration,
    and leaning to faster results.

    Those are just three ways
    we put your data under a

    microscope and use it
    to its absolute fullest.

    Without taking
    these proper steps,

    you could be looking at delays,
    misunderstandings at best.

    And at worst, chaos, complete misalignment,
    underperformance, and confusion.

    Because here's one last
    point you need to realize.

    Sixty seven percent of business
    strategies fail due to poor execution.

    It amazes me how many companies
    will have an amazing data

    storage system, an amazing
    analytics dashboard,

    and even amazing data
    science team running it all.

    And yet they still don't have
    a system to help them resolve how

    to actually synthesize that
    data into an amazing solution

    that would get performance.

    And it would also inform
    everything that your marketing

    and sales team does, says,
    and thinks on a daily basis.

    And just to be clear, when I
    say data synthesis, I mean,

    translating your insights into
    a brand story that will attract

    new customers to your brand
    through an emotional connection.

    Basically, the end result of all this
    data should be doing in the first place.

    As the CEO of Heinz Brand
    said, strategy is exciting,

    the big think is exciting,

    but execution is
    far more important.

    And a best selling
    business author once said,

    great execution beats great strategy
    ninety nine percent of the time.

    Make that one hundred
    percent of the time.

    So how does this
    all come together?

    And how do you put Noble's secret
    data sauce to work for you?

    No matter where you
    are in the process,

    whether it's in the strategy phase
    or you're planning out a campaign,

    or even if you're ready to
    launch and implement a plan

    that you already
    have, we can help.

    If you sign up to speak with us,

    we can schedule a short call to
    show you how we can apply the

    Noble data matrix appraisal
    across your data to inform your

    strategy, your planning,
    and your execution.

    On our call, we can establish
    baseline results you aim to achieve,

    and then we can begin to show
    you how to leverage those

    results for continued success.

    We can cover in detail how
    we've done this with our own

    clients through
    progressive steps.

    So whether you need a brand
    activation or a brand identity

    or maybe some new messaging to support
    video marketing or some videos,

    as well as pure activations
    that got celebrities like

    Gwyneth Paltrow involved
    with one of our clients.

    Or how about getting hundreds
    of social influencers in sync

    around your brand message like
    we did for buying on probiotics?

    This helped give them a
    consistent story across all

    their social reviews.

    Very important.

    And, of course, paid media campaigns
    working in tandem across several channels.
