Braze Introduces the Braze Data Platform
Unified and contextualized data is crucial for creating customer-centric marketing experiences, and brands that fail to deliver risk losing consumer attention, loyalty, and revenue. Marketers are struggling to integrate and make sense of data for customer engagement with excessive data collection: Braze research found that only 24% of brands are mapping customer behavior and sentiment, and only 6% are using this data to inform their product and brand approach. Built with flexibility, interoperability, and modularity in mind, the Braze Data Platform helps brands easily integrate and leverage their data, regardless of their preferred technologies and workflows.
With the Braze Data Platform, brands can easily:
-
Unify Data for Accessibility via Enhanced Ecosystem Integrations - Braze simplifies the process of collecting and bringing first-party data together, regardless of the source, with real time, direct integrations to leading cloud data platforms, data warehouses and software providers. Newly launched CDI Segments, an extension of Braze Cloud Data Ingestion (CDI), is now available in early access for partners, including Amazon Redshift from
Amazon Web Services (AWS),Databricks , and Snowflake, giving brands zero-copy access to customer data and streamlining data flow for better customer engagement. Utilizing existing Braze capabilities such as Data Transformations, Braze Catalogs, SDK, and APIs, brands can efficiently organize their data, empowering marketing teams and reducing dependence on technical resources. - Activate Data for Increased Personalization and Relevance - New enhanced data management capabilities in Braze Catalogs help brands understand and optimize data collection and utilization over time. With turnkey partner integrations into the Braze Data Platform, they can combine these insights with other data sources to understand and act on user behavior in real time, using reporting and analytics for impactful campaigns. Sage AI by Braze™ then helps test and deliver personalized experiences at scale, extending the value of brands' first-party data, so that customer engagement remains valuable and avoids being intrusive.

The composable nature of the platform allows brands to leverage the technology and ecosystem integrations they need, to take action on ever-changing customer preferences and behaviors, and to drive customer engagement experiences that are personalized, relevant, and memorable.

“Snowflake is aligned with Braze in the shared goal to help brands leverage their data more fully. The Braze Data Platform is a positive step in this journey, helping make data work harder.
