Announcing Salesforce Data Studio

Salesforce Data Studio addresses the shortcomings of traditional data exchanges and marketplaces. Unlike legacy platforms that rely on intermediaries, Data Studio allows data owners to maintain control and transparency. The platform ensures secure transactions with comprehensive data governance tools, enabling precise control over data access, usage, and duration.

Key Features of Salesforce Data Studio:

Enhanced Customer Insights: Utilize new Audience Discovery and Search tools to gain deeper insights into existing and potential audiences. This feature combines reach, overlap, and indexing tools into a unified experience for better understanding and engagement.
Expanded Reach for Marketers: Access quality second-party data to discover and connect with new audiences. For instance, Conagra uses Salesforce Data Studio to identify health-conscious consumers on popular recipe sites. Major brands, including Anheuser-Busch and Heineken, use Data Studio to enhance their marketing strategies.
Increased Revenue for Publishers: Publishers can manage data access, set usage rules, and control pricing. For example, Tronc (formerly Tribune Media) has created new revenue streams by offering its data to large advertisers. Notable publishers using Salesforce Data Studio include Bazaarvoice, Kayak, and Univision.
