Tips for Using Social Media in B2B Marketing

Gerber Life was looking to analyze and activate data quickly while improving operational efficiencies, reducing costs, and increasing revenue. With the help of Merkle, they sought to create a new data lake, focused on linking data and developing a 360-degree view of its consumers, a challenging effort in legacy systems and traditional operational data warehouses. Powered by Google Cloud Platform, the data lake serves as Gerber Life’s foundation for empowering data-driven experiences with consumers, transforming new revenue generating and cost reduction opportunities, and operating as change agents in the organization. In this webinar, Gerber Life’s Wally Badalamenti and Merkle’s John Reid and Andy Cossette share how the teams successfully implemented this project to improve data processing speed by 50%+ while decreasing operating costs and realizing over $700K in growth and efficiencies.

Merkle’s Janine Flaccavento, Senior Vice President of Media and New Stream Media and Megan Cameron, Vice President of New Stream Media, will discuss key findings from the research and share actionable tips for retailers and brands looking to enter the RMN space or scale their existing programs.
