Industry Challenge
Rackspace Inc. is a managed cloud computing company based in Texas, now operating worldwide, including in the UK, Netherlands and Germany.
We have been working with them in the UK since 2010. When we started working on the project, Rackspace had a complex user journey path across various international websites with six marketing sites directing users to four different sites where they can convert. In this context, attributing performance to marketing channels was quite difficult, impeding Rackspace’s ability to take informed marketing and content strategy decisions.
The Approach
The key objectives of the projects were to:
- Centralize data collection across the different channels and all data points
DBi Data Business Intelligence implemented a Tealium IQ tag management system and centralized the data collection to enable a consistent reporting and analysis. - Map different data sources on a visitor level
To be in the capacity to design a full user journey around reporting and analysis, DBi Data Business Intelligence worked with the Rackspace development team to implement a unique visitor ID across all data sources. - Optimize marketing channel spend based on understanding how users behave and convert
DBi Data Business Intelligence integrated onsite analytics data with paid search and display campaigns which allows Rackspace to evaluate and optimize campaigns based on visitor interactions.
We also imported SalesForce lead data into the analytics platform which enables campaign and interaction measurement based on offsite SalesForce conversions. - Prepare the ground for a Data Management Platform…
