“With Archie, Merkle now centralizes marketing performance measurement, applying data standards and a templatized approach with the industry’s best-in-class technologies, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Tableau”
Archie features rapid campaign reporting in a collaborative analytics environment, allowing advanced and unified performance measurement across media and CRM channels. Marketers who work with Archie can begin with basic or advanced campaign reporting and are provided options to adjust and expand reports based on the organization’s unique needs.
“With Archie, Merkle now centralizes marketing performance measurement, applying data standards and a templatized approach with the industry’s best-in-class technologies, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Tableau,” said Alex Yoder, executive vice president, analytics at Merkle. “As a trusted partner to our clients, we leverage Archie to understand basic insights, set benchmarks, help align internal stakeholders, and deliver quick wins. Within the solution, we can dramatically advance the discovery of complex analytical modeling on the same data set. We use Archie to help clients swiftly stand up marketing campaign reporting and deliver advanced measurement like attribution, media mix modeling, connected attribution, and customer journey analytics.”
Merkle clients have experienced meaningful results with Archie, including seven times faster speed in reporting and insights and 60 percent fewer resources needed to maintain reporting. Prior to Merkle, a global luxury fashion brand was working with a fragmented media reporting solution and needed a holistic view of its media program. The Merkle team leveraged Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to integrate media data from Google Marketing Platform (GMP) into Archie for better reporting, data visualization, and analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) across 200 client users. Since implementing the solution, the client has increased reporting efficiency by 220 percent. For more information on this story, read the full case study here.
