With this knowledge, marketers are then armed with data that allows them to make informed decisions on future campaigns to ensure that they are received in the best possible way by the target audience.
Big data does not just mean “more” data. It means there is so much data, that is mixed, unstructured, and accumulating at such a fast pace that it becomes impossible for traditional techniques and software, such as Excel, to process it.
