The usefulness of Big Data in structuring, measuring and evaluating digital strategies for companies in any sector and at any level is now universally recognized .
However, it is also important to remember that Big Data , when used correctly, has a huge impact on the success of online marketing projects .
In general, managing Big Data is equivalent to knowing how to use adequate analysis tools that allow for the quantification, qualification, division and organization of information which, if not processed, would remain fragmented – and therefore useless . Once Big Data is exploited properly, it turns out to be a formidable asset to make a company more competitive and grow its business.
Not only are Big Data that multitude of data produced by corporate IT systems , but also by the increasingly marked multimedia that has become an integral part of our world made up of computers and smartphones . These are tools that we use daily to live and work , and which leave an infinite number of traces (data).
In the case of companies, this enormous mass of data can be analyzed in depth to obtain, define and calibrate a series of very important factors for any marketing strategy (not just digital, of course): from the understanding of tastes and trends up to that of customers’ buying habits, from lead behavior to audience sentiment . Starting from these essential data, the digital strategy can be more precise, articulated and will be able to take into consideration a number of exact variables once unimaginable.
So let ‘s see how Big Data positively influence the success of any digital strategy:
- They allow us to understand user behavior
- They offer companies the opportunity to identify, evaluate and correct any commercial, brand reputation, communication problems with the target audience

- They identify the key factors that move the prospect towards purchasing a particular service or product
- They segment the audience allowing a more effective targeting of actions and strategies
- They enable new trials , which were once impossible due to the lack of accurate data
- They allow the testing of new business models
- They guarantee greater and more accurate predictions , because the Big Data history is more complete, precise and far-reaching than any simulation.
