The Data-Driven Marketing Landscape

We are living in a data-driven world where consumers – and the economy – are enjoying greater benefits from innovative data use than ever before, and yet, threats to this data-driven way of life are growing every day. Congress and regulators seem set on putting an end to the collection and use of consumer data by marketers and fundraisers.

DMA’s newly-launched Data Driven Marketing Institute (DDMI) counters these threats by:

advancing and protecting data-driven marketing by engaging the entire industry in a coordinated campaign to set the record straight about the countless ways that data-driven marketing benefits consumers and fuels the data-driven economy;
increasing understanding and improving perceptions of data-driven marketing among policymakers, consumers and the media; and
working to prevent needless regulation or enforcement that could severely hamper data-driven marketing and stifle innovation.
