Why Marketers, Agencies, Publishers and MarTech/AdTech Providers need MADTECH.AI Artificial Intelligence

Media and marketing today are largely dependent upon marketing technology (MarTech) and advertising technology (AdTech) platforms. Of these, there are thousands, each generating disparate streams of data.Unfortunately, these systems and their I/O are often incompatible with one another and sometimes incomprehensible to a broad portion of their user base.

MADTECH.AI—iSOCRATES’s term for marketing-and-media-specific (MarTech + AdTech) artificial intelligence—is an important asset for anyone in the digital media and marketing business, whether you are a publisher, marketer, agency, or a data/tech provider. MADTECH.AI integrates and consolidates MarTech and AdTech data streams and makes the output of those platforms more comprehensible and useable.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and What is Media and Marketing AI?

Artificial intelligence products are an important addition to a company’s array of resources. AI tools should offer an accessible understanding of a company’s data and allow users to make decisions based on the results they provide. MADTECH.AI is a type of AI that focuses specifically on a company’s media and marketing strategies. MADTECH.AI software is traditionally purchased by companies who want to analyze the success or failure of their media and marketing endeavors. It’s one thing to simply engage in marketing tactics, but if a company has no idea of their yield or success ratio, much of their marketing expenditure will be pointless.

In general, companies tend to handle their various responsibilities in silos. While data may exist to help employees and leaders make certain decisions, that same data is not always accessible across the organization. That’s where MADTECH.AI tools come in. They create a way to view metrics and run reports that merge and fuse disparate information in one place.

How are MADTECH.AI tools different from other AI tools?

Typical AI tools rely on training and skillsets, including specific technological expertise, that many potential users may not have. In contrast, MADTECH.AI tools are simple and easy to use. They do not require extensive training or technological knowledge.Moreover, marketing data is highly complex and must be aggregated from various platforms to form a cohesive picture. Doing so manually can be a time-intensive process. With MADTECH.AI, however, that process is no longer necessary. MADTECH.AI platforms will coalesce various data sources into one cohesive unit.

Most AI tools cannot cope with the nuances of the various digital platforms necessary to succeed in today’s marketing world. But MADTECH.AI tools, with their high level of automation, can seamlessly incorporate disparate data streams into their analysis. What’s more, MADTECH.AI platforms automatically alert media partners and adjust media bids accordingly.

Standard AI platforms are not able to adjust to real-time changes in campaigns and other marketing strategies. Additionally, standard AI tools do not provide the clear and detailed visualizations that users need. MADTECH.AI tools offer rich visuals and storytelling dashboards that make metrics easy to view and comprehend.

Here are just a few ways MADTECH.AI platforms come out ahead of standard AI:

• Easy to use, little or no training required
• Synch and join data together from a variety of relevant, available sources
• Provide pre-built data visualizations and analytics
• Use AI and Data Science to analyze data, allowing users to easily assess conclusions
• Media and marketing specialists provide technical support

The best way to understand the value of MADTECH.AI tools, of course, is to use them. Most users agree these platforms provide an easy, seamless user experience that typical AI software does not.

Benefits of owning a modern MADTECH.AI platform

MADTECH.AI tools unify disparate data points, aggregate your data, match consumers across touchpoints, and visualize data on dashboards and scorecards. In other words, they make your data meaningful and useful for decision-making. The technology also makes your data more portable, allowing it to be utilized on smartphones, laptops, and other screens across your organization. The most advanced MADTECH.AI platforms use artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning to gather insights, diagnose situations, provide predictions, and make recommendations. MADTECH.AI is crucial because it allows businesses to quickly scan through terabytes or petabytes of data and accelerate their analysis process. Plus, these tools make it easier to track successes, adapt to industry trends, and find the right data points and metrics to explore.

By aggregating data from disparate channels, businesses gain a complete view of their media and marketing operations, their revenue and profit contribution, and their customers, audiences and users. They also improve their targeting, yield, and whatever other effectiveness or efficiency outcomes they seek. Because MADTECH.AI tools capture and unify diverse data for you, you’ll save time on what would otherwise be a time-consuming and overwhelming process.

With real-time, standardized data, it becomes far easier to react to market changes… and drive them as well.

Of course, good MADTECH.AI technology doesn’t come cheap.When seeking internal approval of a high-end, B2B technology purchase, you’ll need to make a rational, air-tight case for the platform you’re proposing. You may need to appeal to a wide spectrum of stakeholders. Above all, you’ll need to convince senior decision-makers and finance execs that the purchase will yield important, timely financial and other benefits for your company.

Before they approve such a significant expenditure, operating executives and finance execs will want to see solid, quantitative data on payback time, return on investment, and total cost of ownership over the life of the investment.

Unfortunately, that kind of data is usually hard to track down. But in our next post, we’ll introduce you to a new, free tool that will put that data at your fingertips.
