Data Privacy and GDRP Report

Introduction

For many organizations, the effective use of personal data has become a source of competitive advantage.

Recently, however, the court of public opinion and new legislation has forced countless organizations to review their approach to data usage and privacy.

Demand Metric and Demandbase partnered to research how to better understand marketers’ approach to data privacy, how the use of customer and prospect data will evolve, what challenges exist, and areas of investment.

The research effort also pursued an answer to the key question: are companies that report revenue-growth approaching data privacy differently than those that are revenue-stagnant?

These study results provide insights and data useful for comparing, planning, and improving your marketing team’s approach to data privacy
