Accelerating Partnerships and Growing Braze Audiences with Data Clean Rooms

Imagine a McDonald’s + Xbox Partnership

Consider a scenario where McDonald’s wants to reach avid gamers and Xbox aims to promote its latest game releases. Utilizing a data clean room connected to their respective customer databases in Snowflake, they could securely identify an overlap of users who are both McDonald’s app users and Xbox Live subscribers, without revealing any individual user data to each other. This privacy-preserving analysis might reveal that a significant portion of Xbox gamers frequently orders McDelivery in the evenings. Armed with this aggregated insight, they could then collaborate on a targeted campaign within Braze.

For example, McDonald’s could offer exclusive in-game content for a popular Xbox title to customers who place a McDelivery order through the app, while Xbox could promote a new game release with a special offer redeemable at McDonald’s. This precise targeting, facilitated by the data clean room, ensures that the promotional messages reach a highly relevant audience through Braze, maximizing engagement and driving sales for both McDonald’s and Xbox.

Unlock Deeper Audience Insights for Personalized Braze Campaigns

As a CRM professional using Braze, your focus is on creating and executing impactful email, push, and SMS campaigns that resonate with your audience and drive results. You leverage Braze’s powerful segmentation and personalization capabilities to deliver the right message at the right time.

But what if you could unlock even deeper insights into your customer base and reach new, highly relevant audiences in a privacy-safe way? This is where data clean rooms come into play, offering a powerful extension to your existing Braze strategies.

What Exactly is a Data Clean Room?

At its core, a data clean room is a secure, privacy-protected environment where you can combine your valuable first-party customer data from systems like Snowflake with anonymized data from trusted partners – without either party directly accessing the raw, identifiable information of the other.

Think of it as a neutral meeting ground for data, where insights are generated without compromising individual privacy. For a Braze user like yourself, this opens up exciting possibilities beyond traditional segmentation based solely on your internal CRM data.

Use Case 1: Discover Audience Overlap

Imagine you want to partner with another brand whose customers likely overlap with yours. For instance, if you’re a travel company using Braze, you might want to collaborate with a luggage retailer. A data clean room allows you to securely analyze the overlap between your customer lists and theirs, identifying precisely how many customers you share. This insight is invaluable for co-marketing campaigns within Braze, allowing you to target shared customers with relevant, joint offers, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates for both parties.

Use Case 2: Look-a-Like Audiences

Data clean rooms also enable you to identify characteristics of your most valuable customer segments within Snowflake and then, through a secure matching process with a partner’s data, find anonymized users who share similar traits but aren’t currently in your CRM. This allows you to build highly targeted lookalike audiences within Braze for acquisition campaigns. Because this matching happens in a privacy-preserving environment, you can confidently expand your reach to new, relevant prospects without ever directly accessing or sharing sensitive personal data.

Use Case 3: Enrich Customer Profiles

By securely combining your Snowflake data with aggregated, anonymized insights from partners within a data clean room, you can enrich your understanding of your existing customers. For example, you might gain insights into their broader purchasing behaviors or lifestyle preferences, without ever seeing individual-level data from the partner. This enriched understanding allows you to create more granular and personalized segments within Braze, leading to more effective and engaging campaigns across email, push, and SMS. Imagine tailoring your messaging in Braze based not just on past purchases from your brand, but also on broader category interests gleaned securely through a data clean room.

Ensuring Privacy and Compliance While Driving Results

In today’s regulatory landscape, privacy is paramount. Data clean rooms are designed with security and compliance in mind, allowing you to collaborate on data and gain valuable insights without ever compromising customer privacy or running afoul of regulations like GDPR or CCPA. This provides peace of mind while empowering you to create more effective and targeted campaigns in Braze.
