Problem

  • Ingesting marketing data from various data sources
  • Campaign performance and audience segmentation
  • Cross-sell/Upsell, next best action
  • Enabling trend discovery to unlock new revenue streams

Challenges

  • No centralized Data Science platform for Data Scientists
  • Ingesting marketing data from various data sources
  • Visualization of cleaned data in R Studio and Tableau
  • Backfilling of Campaign Manager data into a consolidated data lake

Solution

  • Marketing data from multiple data sources were imported into Google Cloud Storage
  • Google Double Click campaign data was transferred to BigQuery using Google BigQuery Transfer Service
  • MOAT Campaign viewability data containing ad impressions and content views were bulk uploaded on a daily basis
  • Audience Segments collected from Oracle Bluekai pixel tags were bulk uploaded on a daily basis
  • Marketing Data Pipeline
  • Data from Marketing data sources were pushed into Google Cloud Storage
  • Source datasets were stored in Google Cloud Coldline Storage to use it only on requirement basis
  • Google Cloud Dataflow transformations were used to enrich the incoming data
  • Google Cloud Dataprep was used to cleanse the data
  • Google Composer was used as a workflow orchestrator to run the marketing data pipelines. Google BigQuery Transfer Service, Google Dataflow jobs and Google Dataprep Jobs constitutes Marketing Data Pipeline and triggered daily by Composer
  • Consolidation of multiple marketing data was done using Google Cloud Dataflow
  • Marketing Datawarehouse
  • Enriched marketing data were stored in Google BigQuery
  • Marketing Data Visualization
  • R Shiny App and Tableau read the enriched data from Google BigQuery for creating marketing insight dashboards

How it fits together

Google datasets (DoubleClick, Analytics, AdWords) and other datasets (BlueKai, Silverpop, Mixpanel, point of sale) flow into Cloud Storage and BigQuery on Google Cloud, are wrangled in Cloud Dataprep by analysts and data scientists, and land as results in Cloud Storage and BigQuery. Cloud Machine Learning and Tableau visualisations serve data scientists, business analysts and executives.
