According to us, new trends in marketing analytics for 2021 shall be watched closely as they represent great opportunities. We prepared a list of five significant marketing analytics trends you should pay attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To carry through the years and challenges to come, marketers must adapt to their quick evolving environment with new strategies. However, a lot of these marketing strategies and trends aren\u2019t necessarily new. Still, these marketing analytics trends are evolving in unique ways that will impact your actions in the future. And there are great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/blog\/benefits-of-ai-in-marketing\/\">opportunities from analytics and AI<\/a> to data quality,  privacy, and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structure of the article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"#Data-Mania\">Data Mania<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"#Agile-Marketing\">Agile Marketing<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"#Realistic-AI-Application\">Realistic AI Application<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"#Channel-Explosions-Bubbles\">Channel Explosions &amp; Bubbles<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"#Martech-Complexity\">Martech\u2019s Complexity<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Data-Mania\">Data Mania<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When we look ahead to 2021, there are outstanding questions for marketers and consumers about the &#8220;data madness&#8221;. The evolution of these two groups will separate from one another, creating new opportunities for marketers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, we will increase data significance, enabling marketers to address and tailor it to people. On the other hand, we foresee that the ongoing discussions about privacy will become an entirely new issue with the upcoming regulatory changes (ePrivacy et al.) and the technical limitations of third-party cookie rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Data Mania\" class=\"wp-image-7433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1-350x233.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data1.jpeg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 key reasons to collect data for marketing purposes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. People-based Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 90 % of online advertisers are expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/blog\/ai-in-marketing-why-it-is-essential-now-and-in-the-future-13\/\">implement personalized marketing<\/a> in some form or another, as predicts Gartner. Such personalization can only be achieved with condensed data from the people themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Customer Data Platforms (CDP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danielnewman\/2020\/09\/21\/top-10-digital-transformation-trends-for-2021\/?sh=758ce67bc6f4\">&#8220;The CDP explosion&#8221;<\/a>, as Forbes calls it. Massive software vendors such as Adobe, SAP, or Oracle have entered this field where their solutions will be promoted quickly. These solutions will allow marketers to collect personalized data more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. User Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>User experience is the key, and it will remain a fundamental aspect of any marketing strategy implemented. Thanks to the push of Google into Core Web Vitals we can see its significance again. Personalization and relevancy are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/blog\/online-advertising-trends-in-2020-21\/\">online advertising trends<\/a> to watch out for; bringing them to a higher level will be a big push forward in the marketing industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"should you collect data?\" class=\"wp-image-7435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3-350x233.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data-3.jpeg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 Reasons not to Collect Data&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Consent and Preference Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketers have to put continuous efforts into consent management, especially in topics such as customer data ethics. The GDPR has become more and more active as data privacy has become a real issue in today&#8217;s digital world, altogether with the emergence of ePrivacy law. Companies have to make that extra step to respect their <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/08\/data-privacy-rules-are-changing-how-can-marketers-keep-up\">customers&#8217; data privacy<\/a> and keep their practices ethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Promotion of Data Ethics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can expect many brands to promote an altogether &#8220;ethical\/non-anonymized&#8221; data processing, which might become a trend. SmartHQ revealed that &#8220;86% of consumers say they are concerned about their data privacy&#8221;. (note: when you are a customer of nexoya, all our AI models run without your end-customers&#8217; personalized data. This was an important decision for us from the start).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Adblocking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adblocking is and will remain an issue for marketers worldwide. And this trend is believed to grow from now 25% to 27% in 2021, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/topics\/topic\/ad-blocking\">emarketee<\/a>r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been through the positive aspects of data collection and how it could also become an obstacle for companies.

Here are three things you need to know to succeed in implementing agile marketing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Plan, manage, and optimize channels will become more and more \u201cagile\u201d. Marketers need to start working in an agile mode, where KPIs get challenged continuously, updated, and aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Continuous optimization is critical &#8211; or how Neil Patel says, \u201cThere will be no more silver bullets, we will all have to <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/marketing-trends\/\">optimize for marginal gains<\/a>\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Move from always-on and flight campaigns to \u201cwaves&#8221;: we see an increasing number of customers challenging their strict always-on or flight based setup. It is recommended to use a \u201cwave\u201d approach, where campaign waves are running one or two quarters. These campaigns contain a couple of flights but a general messaging throughout the storyline.

Nowadays, companies rely a lot on reporting, accuracy, and processing large volumes of data to make decisions. With this efficiency, a business is now able to implement machine learning, for instance. Adaptive intelligence, chatbots, automation helps to facilitate processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas in the last two or three years, there was a general buzz of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zumvu.com\/artificial-intelligence-expectations-vs-reality\/\">AI and Marketing will change everything<\/a>,&#8221; &#8211; we believe that 2021 will be the year of full application of AI in the broader sense. We already have AI applied in many aspects of marketing, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jenniferhicks\/2019\/12\/12\/heres-how-this-ai-automates-content-generation-in-110-languages\/?sh=5a9fc75206c2\">content generation<\/a> to search and others &#8211; but we believe that in 2021 we will see a push away from prediction &amp; prescription into automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI from prediction to prescription &#8211; Applications for Marketing&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>AI has already been implemented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2019-01-21-gartner-survey-shows-37-percent-of-organizations-have\">37% of organizations<\/a> already &#8211; a 270% increase over the last four years. We foresee that marketers will not just get &#8220;predictions&#8221; of specific topics, but clear advice then can execute. Automation is the keyword in this, combined with AI, which will give a massive push in productivity for marketers! Combining automation and AI results in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nice.com\/rpa\/rpa-guide\/what-is-intelligent-process-automation-ipa\/\">intelligence process automation<\/a> tool (IPA). This tool is incredibly powerful because it has the speed, efficiency, time-savings, scaling ability of automation, and the insights, flexibility, and processing power of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to implement AI and automation in your marketing efforts, here are questions you need to ask yourself for 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What can I automate with AI?<\/li><li>How can AI increase my ROAS in a short time?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5-1024x737.jpeg\" alt=\"AI applications in Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-7441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5-1024x737.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5-350x252.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5-300x216.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5-768x553.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data5.jpeg 1390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Channel-Explosions-Bubbles\">Channel explosions &amp; bubbles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over this last year, we have witnessed a big crisis around Tik Tok, which was banned from several countries, which will undoubtedly continue over 2021. But it is not the only channel which rose rapidly, and that goes its footstep into our marketers&#8217; doors. For instance, the chatbot is now a constant companion on the web, especially in <a href=\"https:\/\/searchcustomerexperience.techtarget.com\/definition\/CRM-customer-relationship-management\">customer relationship management<\/a> (CRM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We expect to see four channel trends emerge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Live marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and now also Linkedin are pushing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pipefy.com\/blog\/why-you-should-try-live-marketing\/\">live marketing<\/a> &#8220;stories&#8221;. We can&#8217;t help but notice that these platforms keep on adapting their strategy to their competitors&#8217;. The market share of these platforms, especially in younger populations, can&#8217;t be ignored &#8211; we foresee that this will remain very relevant channels. But the question is, will something new come up in 2021?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The \u201cZuckerberg Cluster\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Zuckerberg Cluster&#8221; refers to Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and Bubble. The total amount of monthly active users (MAU) of all these platforms is 6.9 Billion (without counting the duplicates), making it the <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/social-media-users\">most connected cluster<\/a> overall. What will happen when the US court pushes a split? It will become quite interesting; we believe there is a massive potential for change there for 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Chatbots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a hype and the first \u201cconsolidation\u201d Chatbot push, we foresee that finally, chatbots will be used more regularly. Gartner projects that chatbots will power <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@electrobabe\/gartner-stated-by-2020-customers-will-manage-85-of-their-relationship-with-the-enterprise-f34736d4bf19\">85% of customer service interactions<\/a> already by the end of 2020 in some sort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visual Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/visual-search-guide-benefits-optimizatiion\/\">Visual search<\/a> uses images such as screenshots, internet images, or photographs for online searches. It usually uses AI to understand these images&#8217; content and context and provide the end-user with a related result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinterest, Google, and Amazon are the main visual search engines today. Microsoft has also developed impressive computer vision capabilities for its Bing search engine. Especially for e-commerce, we see visual search and VR activities as a potential new trend evolving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are questions you need to ask yourself for 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are there channels I want to try out in 2021?<\/li><li>How can we stay &#8220;fast-reactive&#8221; if these channels &amp; platforms change so fast?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"what digital channels do you want to try out with your brand ?\" class=\"wp-image-7443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7-350x233.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.nexoya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blog-data7.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Martech-Complexity\">Technology adds more complexity, not less<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the growing amount of channels comes the ever-increasing Martech stack.
