Data is the lifeblood of any digital marketing organisation, revealing customer journeys and preferences that help businesses craft the rich, personalised experiences customers have come to expect. The challenge for marketers is not to add to this firehose of data, but rather to capture it effectively across multiple sources, then process and analyse it for actionable insights.
A customer data platform (CDP) helps marketers meet these challenges by facilitating the collection of customer data from different sources, creating a unified profile of their customers and acting upon it. In this way, a CDP helps brands create efficient data-driven strategies while complying with data privacy regulations.
How Zeotap makes CDP easier
Among CDPs, Zeotap CDP stands out for its ease of use, and the power, scale, and connectivity it gains from Google Cloud’s Data Cloud. Every CDP offers core functionalities, including data integration and unification, segmentation, and orchestration. But Zeotap CDP empowers marketers with an easy-to-use platform that ensures flexible and easier deployment and delivers value quickly — In fact, there are three deployment alternatives you can choose from, depending on your needs.
Zeotap’s intuitive interface is built for marketers, so you can see results in as little as eight weeks; no technical skills required. Perhaps most importantly, Zeotap places consumer privacy and compliance at its core; and since the platform originated in Germany, it has been developed to comply with stringent European regulations.

Ongoing innovation
Zeotap’s long standing relationship with Google Cloud means that the two partners continue to co-innovate. Our latest effort, part of the “Built with Google Cloud AI” initiative, takes advantage of an advanced generative AI model to provide a conversational interface for audience segmentation. This represents a major step towards making our products even more intuitive for non-technical users.
Zeotap now uses Google Cloudʼs Gen AI models, via Vertex AI, to power its new Ada™ AI companion for marketers. Powered by the PaLM-2 model, AdaTM will allow intuitive conversational interfaces for marketers to more easily explore, understand, and activate data in Zeotap CDP for critical tasks, like audience segmentation, analytics, and building customer journeys.
