Alight Analytics changes marketing analytics game with ChannelMix Control Center
Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) November 01, 2016 -- Alight Analytics® is changing the way data-driven marketers manage their marketing data. The marketing data aggregation firm today announced the release of the ChannelMix Control Center, the missing piece to make the world’s first marketing data engine even stronger.
The new ChannelMix Control Center gives marketers unprecedented visibility, accessibility, and control over their marketing channel data. ChannelMix® itself has been helping data-driven marketers aggregate their data for years, and the Control Center now gives them access to data management tools previously only available to the Alight team.
“Marketing doesn’t have a dashboard problem, marketing has a data problem” says Matt Hertig, Co-Founder of Alight Analytics. “As the only company in the industry which built a data aggregation platform while delivering marketing analytics services for the past 10 years, we understand the root of the marketing analytics problem, which is data management. ChannelMix solves the data problem, and the ChannelMix Control Center provides an interface for marketers to take more control of their ongoing data management challenges.”
ChannelMix removes the manual effort of collecting, consolidating, storing and managing marketing channel and media data, allowing marketers to focus on delivering insights and analysis.
ChannelMix Control Center offers a host of features aimed at helping marketers work smarter. Using the new “Rules” feature, marketers can fix campaign tracking errors and apply business rules on the fly across all media data sets, ensuring everyone has clean, accurate data for reporting. “Connect” gives one-click access to activate any imaginable data source, from Twitter Ads to Google Analytics to Sizmek to Salesforce, for lightning speed data source integration. Agencies and brands can look across clients or across product lines with “Library,” where all active data sources and associated metrics are displayed in a single view, a huge time saver for busy analysts.
“The ChannelMix Control Center provides us more control and flexibility to view and manage our clients' marketing and media sources, allowing us to get to analysis faster than ever," said Stephanie Padgett, SVP of Media Strategy & Operations for True Media. “The ChannelMix platform has proven to be an invaluable addition to our agency’s analytics infrastructure by eliminating our manual data gathering tasks, unlocking our clients’ media and marketing channel silos, and cleaning and standardizing all of our data for reporting. Now the Control Center gives us access to view our data in a way that only Alight could before, making data management even faster.”
Alight Analytics has been delivering marketing analytics services for a decade, helping brands and agencies such as AMC Theatres, Periscope, Blue Cross Blue Shield, MODCo and Monsanto. ChannelMix, and now the ChannelMix Control Center, is a natural extension of their work.
“We built the ChannelMix data aggregation platform to create a single source of truth for marketers, giving our clients the flexibility to access the data in any environment and use any dashboard tool they want,” said Michelle Jacobs, Alight Analytics Co-Founder. “The ChannelMix Control Center takes gives our clients to not only have complete visibility but total control of their data ecosystem, which is a game changer for the marketing industry.”.
