Abstract

In the modern digital economy, optimising customer engagement has become a critical objective for businesses seeking sustainable growth. Data-driven marketing strategies leverage customer data, analytics, and insights to inform marketing decisions, enabling personalised, timely, and relevant interactions. This comprehensive review examines the role of data-driven approaches in enhancing customer engagement, conversion, and loyalty. Key strategies such as customer segmentation, real-time behavioural targeting, personalised customer journeys, predictive analytics, and continuous optimisation are discussed. Empirical evidence highlights the positive impact of data-driven marketing on engagement metrics, return on investment, and customer lifetime value. The review also addresses challenges, including data quality, privacy concerns, integration, and the balance between automation and human-centric communication. Emerging trends such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models further expand the potential of data-driven marketing. The study concludes with practical recommendations for implementing effective data-driven strategies, emphasising the strategic importance of leveraging data to achieve competitive advantage.
