Adroit Digital, a performance marketing technology company that leverages shared shopper data to drive marketing results for global agencies and brands, has released new research revealing that those who use data co-ops report improved marketing ROI, customer experience and access to customers across multiple channels.

Further, 71% of respondents agree that implementing a digital data cooperative will increase revenue, while 76% report that this type of data sharing lowers marketing expenses. The study, conducted by Forrester Consulting in January, involved in-depth surveys with 103 customer insights professionals and 100 digital marketers from US companies that gauged their use of and sentiments toward data cooperatives.
Additional highlights from the study include:
- 42% of those using a data co-op believe co-ops drive better marketing ROI.
- 40% of those using a data co-op say co-ops provide better access to customers across channels.
- 65% cite shared data from partners as being critical to overall marketing strategy; 88% say it’s an important part of marketing efforts.
- 46% of those using a data co-op think co-ops lead to better customer experience.
“The study shows that marketers understand they cannot limit their digital marketing toolset to only first- and third-party data, and that they must leverage data cooperatives to achieve a more holistic view of their current and potential customers,” said Jacob Ross, President of Adroit Digital. “Sharing data means scaling data. Clients who participate in data co-ops can reach a much larger audience with relevant messaging and gain deep insights into how those audiences are responding, which ultimately serves to drive more sales.”
Adroit Digital’s online data co-op, the Shopper Cooperative, allows participating marketers to contribute their own first-party data with other brands’ contributed, non-personally identifiable, first-party commerce data to target audiences at scale—with the marketer retaining full control of their data.
