Program Overview

The marketing analytics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It is expected to grow from $5.35 billion in 2024 to $6.2 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%.The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased emphasis on data-driven decision making, rising competition and market saturation, shift towards customer-centric marketing, evolving consumer behavior and digital transformation, demand for measurable ROI and accountability.  AI adoption among marketers surged from under 10% in 2018 to nearly 70% by 2024, driven by generative AI, personalization engines, and predictive analytics tools, as shown below.

This is a definitive course designed to transform your marketing intuition into data-driven power. Marketing decisions have long been using a mixture of intuitive hypotheses and supporting market research data to empirically justify/motivate those actions. Today, every click, every conversion, and every customer interaction generates massive, complex data. The challenge is no longer accessing or storing this data, but translating that data into predictable, scalable business growth. Marketing managers also need to build intuition about the right nature of data for specific inference and tease out confounding factors. This intensive program bridges the gap between marketing strategy and cutting-edge data science, enabling you to harness the true potential of advanced analytics.

This program will equip marketing leaders and professionals with the analytical mindset, tools, and frameworks to harness the power of data science for strategic marketing decisions. It enables participants to understand how data-driven insights can uncover customer behavior patterns, optimize marketing investments, and drive measurable business growth.

By the end of the program, participants will be able to confidently integrate data science principles into marketing strategy and execution, driving smarter, faster, and more customer-centric decisions.

Program Structure

This program is structured to provide hands-on experience across the entire spectrum of marketing data applications. The program is organized into five comprehensive modules combining conceptual foundations, analytical techniques, and hands-on applications relevant to marketing decision-making. We move beyond basic dashboards to explore sophisticated models that drive real value:

Foundational Techniques for Predictive Power: We will start with core principles like Regression to quantify relationships and the essentials of Classical Machine Learning (ML) to build predictive models. We will then escalate our capabilities to understand modern Neural Networks, which form the backbone of advanced customer intelligence.

Revolutionizing Marketing Applications: We will apply these techniques to solve the most pressing marketing challenges, including:

  • Financial Optimization: Developing Pricing strategies and building Marketing Mix Models (MMM) to optimally allocate budgets across channels.
  • Customer Journey Mapping: Implementing Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) models to credit channels and content that influence conversions accurately.
  • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV): Building Customer Retention Probability Models to identify and engage at-risk customers, maximizing long-term value proactively.
  • Personalization & Engagement: Designing and deploying Recommender Systems to boost cross-sell, up-sell, and overall customer engagement.
  • Voice of Customer (VoC): Utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI to create Generative Summarization of customer reviews and feedback, turning thousands of comments into concise, actionable insights for Branding and product development.

Tools and Platform Focus: Hands-On Case Studies

Crucially, this program is intensely practical. Every core concept is immediately followed by a hands-on case study focused on implementation. You will be building, training, and deploying models using the industry’s most in-demand platforms and languages:

  • Python: The core language for data manipulation, modelling, and deep learning.
  • Azure: Leveraging cloud infrastructure and services for scalable model deployment and orchestration.
  • Databricks: Utilizing the unified data and analytics platform for big data processing and collaborative ML development.
  • Kafka: Understanding real-time data streams and integrating them into models for immediate decision-making.

By the end of this course, you won’t just be using marketing technology; you will be building the analytical assets that define your competitive edge using real-world platforms and code. Prepare to elevate your strategic role and lead your organization’s transition to truly intelligent, predictive marketing.

Who is it for?

This program is designed for marketing and business professionals who want to advance their capability to make data-driven strategic decisions using modern data science and AI tools. It is particularly suited for executives who bridge the worlds of marketing strategy, analytics, and digital transformation — seeking to understand, evaluate, and apply advanced analytical methods to real business challenges. There is no prerequisite with respect to years of experience or seniority – this is open to anyone who wants to learn.

Participants can be:

  • Marketing and Brand Managers responsible for campaign effectiveness, pricing, and market mix decisions.

  • Digital Marketing Leaders driving customer acquisition, personalization, and media optimization using data.

  • Customer Analytics and CRM Professionals leveraging customer data for segmentation, churn prediction, and loyalty analytics.
