CHICAGO -- April 5, 2017 – Target Data today announced a new partnership with The Joffrey Ballet, a global household name and premier dance company. The marketing services firm will define and execute an addressable strategy to support the nonprofit’s marketing efforts using its best-in-class data-driven solution.
“We are thrilled to partner with such an iconic institution. I applaud the Joffrey for taking the leap to a true data-driven addressable marketing strategy,” said Target Data CEO Ross Shelleman. “Once the program is implemented, the Joffrey’s targeting capabilities will exceed that of many for-profit institutions. Using data to deploy a truly one-to-one marketing strategy will pay enormous dividends for the Joffrey. We’re eager to dive in and get started.”
The Joffrey Ballet will leverage Target Data’s expertise to help drive increased ticket sales and fundraising efforts and expects to develop stronger donor and patron profiles as well. Through its Target Data partnership, it will emerge with a stronger marketing strategy and increased growth. Target Data will be assisting in multiple facets, including campaign strategy development, data modeling, addressable media execution, program management, and optimization analytics.
“New audience development is critical to the Joffrey’s future, and we are pleased to have Joffrey board member Ross Shelleman’s marketing expertise as we implement strategies that grow our audience. We are excited to launch the program with Target Data to push our marketing efforts to the next level,” said Brian Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at The Joffrey Ballet. “Our partnership with Target Data will remove the guess work out of who we are approaching and why. The treasure trove of information that exists in our own data will help us ensure that our marketing is highly addressable and reaching the right individual at the right time.”
Founded in 2007, Target Data merges clients’ first-party data with third-party data to identify the attributes of brands’ most valuable customers.
