Employing Artificially Generated Information for Marketing Strategies Online
In the dynamic world of digital marketing, making informed decisions is paramount. However, not all brands have access to vast amounts of data. This is where synthetic data comes into play, offering a powerful solution to data scarcity and privacy challenges.
Digital marketers and brand strategists often face hurdles in reaching the right audience, creating relevant content, and adapting to new trends while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Traditional data collection methods can be time-consuming and expensive, especially for small and medium-sized datasets.
Enter the open source python library, nbsynthetic, launched by NextBrain.ai. This innovative tool generates synthetic data, mimicking consumer interactions and creating realistic datasets. By doing so, it helps marketers overcome small or fragmented datasets, enabling better-targeted and personalized marketing campaigns.
One such practical application was demonstrated in a case study involving a novel brand with limited data. Seeking to improve their advertising strategy, they turned to synthetic data for assistance. The nbsynthetic library was used to generate a synthetic dataset from the original 19-sample table data.
The key aspects of synthetic data generation include data augmentation and simulation, privacy compliance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, improved forecasting, and predictive analytics. By augmenting datasets, synthetic data allows AI models to better learn patterns and forecast campaign outcomes, such as customer behaviours and preferences. Since synthetic data retains the statistical properties of original data but removes personally identifiable information, it addresses privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, reducing legal risks while maintaining data utility for analysis.
However, it's important to note that while synthetic data excels in augmentation and some analytics, it may lack the nuanced consumer variability real human data has. This potential limitation should be considered, especially in high-stakes tasks like detailed consumer segmentation or behavioural prediction.
In the case study, the Random Forest Regressor was used to predict the MMR variable in a machine learning problem. Predicting in the original dataset resulted in fairly unstable accuracy, while training the system using synthetic data led to more stable accuracy with better results. The synthetic data-trained algorithm was even used to predict the original data, revealing that while the accuracy was slightly lower than that obtained through synthetic data training, it was clearly far more robust and attractive than that obtained from training the original data.
In conclusion, synthetic data provides digital marketers with a valuable tool to overcome data scarcity and privacy challenges, accelerating campaign optimization and success forecasting through enhanced, privacy-safe data synthesis. This is particularly beneficial for small to medium datasets where real data availability and privacy concerns are limiting factors.
The code for this article can be found online, providing a practical guide for digital marketers and brand strategists looking to harness the power of synthetic data. As we move forward, synthetic data is poised to become a new tool for extracting value from existing data and addressing new challenges in digital marketing.
