Google & M.I.T to launch the real-time cloud over 2012 London Olympics

A group from M.I.T.’s Senseable City Lab is looking for funding for an ambitious observation deck designed for the 2012 London Olympics. They are calling it theCloud. It is a “lightweight transparent tower, composed of a ‘cloud’ of inflatable, light-emitting spheres . . . fed by real time information from all over the world.”

The structure is an architectural interpretation of the realtime cloud. Videos of the Olympic events, Twitter and Facebook streams, and other realtime data such as energy usage, Internet traffic, and mobile phone activity will be projected onto LED displays in the Cloud so that people in the Cloud can observe the events from high above London.

Datarati raises $400 for the Inspire foundation, helping 40 young australians!

This morning we launched the ‘Marketing Cloud’ – (#mktgcloud) (#datarati) Database Marketing in the New Frontier at Sydney’s Hilton Hotel.

When we started the company 6 months ago, we wanted to find an organisation that we could support and one that we could give back to. We wanted to find an organisation that we had history with and one that was in line with our own company values.

Above all, we wanted to ‘Inspire’ our fellow digital and data-driven marketers!

Inspire them to challenge the status quo of the past and educate them on the new frontier of database marketing, the ‘Smarter’ way of using digital behavioural data to acquire new customers and retain existing customers.

As a result, we thought there was no better organisation to support than that of the Inspire Foundation www.inspire.org.au and their website www.reachout.com

This morning we raised $400 for them at our breakfast briefing. For every $50 raised, 5 Young Australians are provided access to Inspire’s programs  to help find the support they need.

The event this morning was sponsored by the world’s fastest growing marketing automation database provider (Marketo).

For those who were unable to attend this morning, the event video was captured by our friends at Viocorp and will be made available shortly.

Stay tuned this week for more!

What do the Datarati do… in 30 seconds?

Elevator Pitch

Wordle

I got asked this morning at an Ad-tech event in Sydney what our company ‘Datarati’ does in 30 seconds or less so here goes the elevator pitch:

Datarati helps smart marketers unlock the value of digital behavioral data, by allowing them to execute more personalised and effective email marketing and web personalisation through the use of a marketing automation database (MAD).

Today’s smart data-driven marketers use a MAD to leverage the wealth of demographic/profile data and implicit/behavioural data that online visitors and customers generate as they react to a company’s digital marketing campaigns and interact with its landing pages, microsites and websites.

By centralising all this data into a MAD, marketers can now access and have full visibility into all multi-channel campaign data including:

- Email Marketing data
- Paid Search data
- Paid Display data
- Landing Page, Microsite, Website data
- Social Media data (twitter, facebook, linkedin)
- Telemarketing data (customer service + support)

Why is this so exciting for marketers?

Well today, marketers are living in Excel Hell! They try to collect and collate multiple data sets in Microsoft Excel which are delivered to them by their multiple rostered agencies and or vendors.

With all of these data silios created how can marketers know which channels are most effective in driving leads, opportunities and ultimate conversions/revenue for their organisations?

With a MAD all of this data is centralised into one database where the marketer can execute digital campaigns from end-to-end including:

- Data Segmentation aka List building (Demographic + Behavioural) data
- Email, Form + Landing page creation & execution
- Data Scoring
- Data Nurturing (Drip based Acquisition, Retention, Loyalty Campaigns Campaigns)
- Data Testing / Optimisation
- Reporting & Analytics
- Integration into their CRM database for closed loop ROI reporting & analysis e.g. Salesforce.com, Netsuite, Microsoft, Oracle, Siebel, SAP,  etc.

Oh and P.S you need no IT involvement or support as the MAD is delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) over a web browser :) and payable by the number of records you have in your database.

I speak quickly, so there goes my 30 seconds :)

Also, we are holding the “DATA”‘ event of the year for all Digital Marketers and their Digital Agencies in Sydney in a few weeks time.

Email me if you’re interested in attending!
