A data-driven approach can transform advertising performance, improve marketing strategies, and help businesses effectively connect with millions of customers (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2017). By leveraging data, businesses can create targeted strategies that resonate with the right audience and drive measurable results.

The business problem is the challenge of optimizing advertising performance and connecting with a large customer base. Without a data-driven strategy, businesses face significant obstacles, including inefficient advertising, poor customer targeting, and suboptimal performance (Chaffey, 2015). Specifically, this lack of insight leads to:

Inefficient advertising: Wasting resources due to a lack of data-driven decision-making (Lambrecht & Tucker, 2019).

Poor customer targeting: Difficulty in reaching the right audience at the right time, which impacts campaign effectiveness (Liu, 2018).

Suboptimal performance: Limited understanding of customer behavior, hindering growth and limiting opportunities for optimization (Wedel & Kannan, 2016).

To overcome these challenges, businesses must leverage a data-driven approach to make better decisions, optimize strategies, and achieve more impactful results (Davenport, 2013).
