Paris – Big data and the abundance of information that it involves, makes the interpretation and operation of data a complex issue. FigaroMedias provides the harmonisation of the Figaro Group’s entire data set and makes it more usable by performing the transition from BIG DATA to FIGDATA – a service that provides powerful and qualified personal and content-based data.
Three solutions are now on offer: Audience Data, Content-Based Data and CRM Data.
For its Audience Data offers, FigaroMedias has partnered with nugg.ad to make use of its predictive targeting solutions, which allows it to characterise its users according to their socio-demographic profiles, product interests and browsing behavior. The Audience Data offers thus let advertisers improve the performance (for retargeting) and coverage (by increasing audience reach) of their recurrent campaigns.
With its 80 audience segments, FigaroMedias offers ten clusters such as “Affluent People” (e.g. “High Income Earners” and “Luxury Shoppers”) “Powerful People” (e.g. “Independent Women with Children”) and “Life Cycles” (e.g. “Home Mover” and “Families with Young Children”) and also allows the creation of custom targets by crossing these variables.
Based on exclusive productions by the Figaro Group’s newsrooms, the Content-Based Data solution can create platforms that not only address communities more precisely but also build new Audience Data targets. This is enabled by a communications solution of Native Publishing that can combine the variables setting, content and audience.
The Data CRM offer provides exclusive access to the Figaro Groups’ database. This allow advertisers to benefit from the brand values of the Figaro Group via mailings (145,000 geo-locatable postal addresses), sponsoring newsletters (1.9 million contact with 16 topics ) and email distribution (1.6 million contacts with “opt-in” option and 35 targeting criteria), and drive traffic to a wealthy and influential audience.
The FIGDATA solution can thus – in addition to providing banner campaigns – serve as an activatable lever to improve and amplify the performance of ad campaigns.
