Key focus areas include the processes involved in data acquisition, preprocessing, and analysis, with particular emphasis on the value of personalized marketing campaigns and the ability to make real-time, data- driven decisions. The study also discusses critical aspects such as attribution modeling, customer journey mapping, and the measurement of return on investment (ROI), showcasing how these factors are integral to optimizing marketing strategies through big data insights. In addition to its operational benefits, the research highlights the importance of adhering to data privacy regulations and ethical considerations in marketing practices. By synthesizing theoretical frameworks and actionable insights, this paper provides businesses with guidance on leveraging big data analytics to make informed marketing decisions, improve customer engagement, and secure a sustainable competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market landscape.
