How the Marine Corps Enlists Big Data for Recruitment Efforts
Posted in: Uncategorized
United States Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Raphael Hernandez is thinking about attending South by Southwest, the ever-expanding Austin music, film and digital-media fiesta to be held in March. Like countless corporations, brands and marketers, the USMC wants to learn about new approaches to media and data-driven marketing, bound to be a hot topic at this year’s event.
“We look for opportunities to attend conferences that may provide us an opportunity to interact with early adopters. “There’s definitely an interest in terms of my team attending,” said Lt. Col. Hernandez, assistant chief of staff for advertising for the Marine Corps Recruiting Command.
Today, the USMC analyzes data from the Department of Defense’s own prospect lists, direct interactions through email or digital ads, third-party demographic data, 2010 Census data, voter file data and behavioral and purchase transaction data from outside sources including Acxiom.
