Brands are increasingly looking for ways to take control of their digital advertising and marketing in order to ensure that their ad spend is being used effectively. Building a private walled garden can provide them with the data they need to make informed decisions about how and where to spend their advertising budget. A walled garden can be defined as a closed system or network where user content and activities are restricted to the boundaries of the garden.

At iPROM, we believe it’s critical for companies to invest in building out their own media networks, data sources, and marketing tools in order to maximize their return on investment. An iPROM Private DMP enables agencies and brands alike to store, manage, analyze, and activate first-party or proprietary data from various sources including websites or mobile owned directly controlled by the brand or agency. This provides an unprecedented level of control over every aspect of the digital marketing process – from targeting consumers to measuring campaigns – enabling brands to build more effective campaigns tailored specifically towards their unique needs.

How lookalike audiences and dynamic retargeting can improve ROI and build long-term customer relationships

The insights derived from this data can also be used to drive advanced targeting strategies such as lookalike audiences or dynamic retargeting campaigns which allow brands to connect with new potential customers who have characteristics in common with existing customers. Having access to this potentially high-value audience allows marketing professionals to create more impactful campaigns with higher ROI than traditional methods such as traditional demographics-based digital advertising which often results in ad spend wasted on unqualified leads.

Furthermore, investing in your own walled garden provides a unique opportunity to forge long-term relationships with consumers through ongoing engagement across a variety of touchpoints such as email newsletters, social media profiles, webinars, etc., all of which driven by buyer intent rather than static demographic profiles that are limited by what third-party data vendors offer. By understanding consumer behaviour across these channels, marketers can design better experiences that drive loyalty and engagement over time.
