Feature Focus: Leverage the Powerful Audiences of Oracle Data Cloud within Skai Social

Oracle Data Cloud audiences are the cream of the crop of the third-party data vendors. Having acquired multiple top-tier data companies over the last decade, marketers have many options to reach the audience segments they desire. Skai Social now integrates with this valuable partner and our clients can access their unique and powerful audiences through our platform. 

In the State of Branding Report 2019, 500+ UK and US marketing decision-makers from various industries were asked what the most effective channel was for reaching their target audience. The top answer? Social media. 

This makes social media an integral part of every marketing strategy. It’s where businesses often connect their products to their prospective customers. But reaching the right person entails leveraging targeting tactics that rely on demographic insights, behavioral data, and offline actions. Audience identifiers that are not always available directly within the native tools. 

Two key audience targeting challenges that social advertisers must solve

As amazing as the targeting offered by social publishers is, there are a few challenges facing advertisers:

Audience oversaturation

One of the great things about social audience targeting is that advertisers can reach valuable audiences that have shown intent with their remarketing and CRM lists. This is great, but social marketers have begun to realize that they might be potentially exhausting those lists. It’s a bit of the overfishing analogy in which too many ads to the same groups become either annoying or those consumers simply begin to tune them out—a.k.a. banner blindness. 

Facebook native audience targeting needs a boost

With regards to Facebook’s native targeting options, they are just more valuable when paired with behavioral data or in-market purchase intent. Although most brands can get by with the native targeting, it’s somewhat limited without these other signals. 

In order to get more advanced targeting against these two audience targeting challenges, marketers are turning to dedicated, 3rd party audience targeting vendors that can help them go to the next level.

And marketers are absolutely using 3rd party data vendors to enhance their targeting capabilities. According to an IAB/Winterberry Group study, marketers spent almost $20 billion on third-party audience data and activation solutions last year.
