Following the roll call of the participants, the event proceeded with an ice breaker

entitled: Guess the Gibberish. The ice breaker is hard but manageable.

After the ice breaker, the hosts proceeded introducing the 1st key note speaker: a

Community Operations Manager, Analytics in Uber; a graduate with BS Geography in UP

Diliman; and a Data Analyst, Mr. Antonio Javelosa.

In his brief introduction, according to him, his aim is to teach, ”how to leverage data as

marketers.” He further added that Analytics is meant for exploring and knowing things you don’t

know.

The topic that he discussed is: Marketing Initiatives through data-driven approaches.

In his discussion he provided that there are different marketing initiatives that can be use to

approach a segment with the use of data-driven approaches. In his agenda as a resource

speaker for the webinar, he provided: Introduction; the 3 Vs of big data; A/B Testing; Customer

Segmentation; Customer Lifetime Value; Data Ethics; Pursuing Career in data; and Q&A + wrap

up.

He said that Data Analytics has been recently popular in today’s age but it’s not a new

field—we are using data analytics for centuries, according to him. He further explained that data

is literally everywhere, and that it’s already a man’s reach. This paved way to businesses and

companies to get interested exploring and developing this entire field.

Mr. Javelosa provided his career in Data Analytics and how it started for him. He started

in 2017 as a freelance and became an analytics manager in 2021. Following, he said that the

reason for analytics is because it helps to form data-driven decisions, opens explorations, and

inspire to know more and become better.

The resource speaker then proceeded talking about “Big Data” by asking the participants

what is it and why it’s important. He then explained Big Data with the 3 V’s of Big Data.

According to him, these are: Volume, it means more data. more storage capacity; Velocity, real-

time data at scale; and Variety, beyond rows and columns. Big Data revolves around these

three principles and this what makes Big Data. In sum, it’s big, fast, and there are so many

kinds of data.

As stated by the resource speaker, the most basic type of analytics a marketer can get

hands on is A/B Testing. This revolves on comparing two versions and telling what’s better.

This is a data initiative that a marketer can use and undertake. He applied it in his experience

that they run thousands of testing to see what the customer wants and preferred.

The next marketing approach is customer segmentation. According to him this

approach is grouping the market according to their common characteristics. For example, by

behavior or demographic. He stressed that an example of real-life application was during the

election. A lot of analytics was done before, during, and after the elections. This provides that

analytics is used far and wide for its purpose to understand customers. He noted that the

potential is around the behavioral segment—grouping individuals on what they do. He further

added that tech companies do it a lot since it really shows how a customer act and behaves and

what drives them to do so. Netflix is one company who looks at our behaviour in order to profile

customers perfectly. As a marketer, this is useful in targeting the right market and the right

segment to increase profits for a business.

He provided a case study entitled: The Spaghetti Sauce Case Study. In this case

study, an individual tried to know what is the best spaghetti sauce and conducted an experiment

by developing 45 different kinds of spaghetti. They concluded that there is no one supreme

spaghetti but rather 3 different classification/segment of spaghetti. With this, he relates that

marketers should not seek for the “one” but rather use the data and look at customers by

segment.

In Customer Lifetime Value, customers are further segmented if they are new or low-

valued customers, mid-valued customers, and high-valued customers. Knowing this will help a

business to adjust according to the said segments. He added that knowing how much a

customer spends in the company’s product will be a basis on how much a company will develop

advertisements for them. He stressed that stakeholders will ask Marketers non-stop regarding

this issue. That said, customer lifetime value will help a Marketer resolve the said issue. Mr.

Javelosa provided a real-life example with their case study in Uber. According to him their

company is in a unique position. They don’t just offer a single type of service but rather different

types to cater different segments of customers. He stressed that they cross-sell and up-sell their

products to figure out who are low-valued, mid-valued, and high-valued customers. Knowing

what the customers wants helped them in this time of pandemic according to him. That’s he

explicitly stated the importance of data-driven approach in looking at the customers.

Marketers should take a keen understanding about: A/B Testing; Customer

Segmentation; and getting Customer Lifetime Value. As Marketers, this will be “your bread and

butter” –according to him.

A stated by him, data is a powerful tool, but these 3-5 years, data were used and abused

in ways that were detrimental in society. According to him, data was used to manipulate

elections, there were fraud, and mislead using data. He said that we should be responsible in

handling data. There is so much data that we can collect at a personal level and if used for

marketing, he encouraged the participants to handle and use it responsibly. Data points at the

end of the day are people. There is a line to draw between exploiting and providing value,

according to our resource speaker.

In his last talk, he discussed pursuing a career in data. He encouraged and talk about

considering the field and job of becoming a data analyst since according to him, it’s a great field

and companies are looking for data analyst. He ended his discussion by opening the Q&A and

bidding goodbye for having him as one of the key note speakers. Following the end of the talk of

speaker 1, the program proper proceeded with summing up the talk of key note speaker 1 by

the hosts and a performance of a band.

After the rendition of the band, the hosts proceeded introducing the 2 nd key note speaker

According to her data science and big data is proliferated in today’s news. She quoted

the 1st key note speaker stated, “Data Analytics has been recently popular in today’s age but it’s

not a new field.” Little by little it has become in-demand not only in the Philippines but also

across the globe.

She said that Data Science everywhere. It means that data is being used and applied to

interpret everything that we have in today’s society. She further stressed that the utilization of

data is not confined on marketing alone but rather it’s all-encompassing.

After her brief explanation, she showed a data science vocabulary. In this photo it shown

numerous words that defines the whole picture of what data science is.

According to her, these are keywords of what data science is. She then provided a

formal definition which states, “Data Science, also known as data-driven science, is an

interdisciplinary field of scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract

knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured, similar to

data mining. The resource speaker further defined that it intends to analyze and understand

actual phenomena with ‘data’.

She discussed that data science is a unifier. It touches different aspects such as: data

management; humanities; machine learning/statistical learning; application domain expertise;

visualization; mathematical optimization; social science; and law.

An important note that the key note speaker discussed is the difference between big

data and data science. According to her, they are not the same thing. She used an example that

big data is the crude oil, and data science is the process that “refine” the crude oil, that is, big

data.

After her explanation she proceeded discussing the holistic approach to data science.

She provided a graph that shows how data is acquired and turned into data preservation. There

are many factors that affect the outcome of the data. There are also core research issues &

interactions as well.

Following the discussion, the program proper proceeded on data science and marketing

applications.

According to Ms. Mejia, the first application is Channel Optimization. This application

provides a detailed analysis of the customer’s social media interactions, that will form a

particular story or pathway.

The next Data Science technique is Customer Segmentation. This was already

discussed by the previous key note speaker, but according to Ms. Mejia, in this application, Data

Scientist can use specific ML Algorithms to determine both the potential value of each ideal

customer group and which products are most likely to appeal to them.

The third marketing technique is Lead targeting and Advanced lead scoring. This is

about reaching out to the right potential customers at the exact right time. This is widely

recognized to be the most challenging part of the digital marketing process. Using this, data

scientists can predict which offers or products will be most attractive to different customers and

demographics at different times.

Another one according to Ms. Mejia is the Real-time interaction and analytics. This

measure and process customer behavior as it happens, providing meaningful, actionable

insights at what could be a critical time for customer conversion. Furthermore, this also allow for

a faster response time when your focus market fluctuates, saving you money and wasted

marketing in the long run.

The fifth one is Content Strategy. This is devising an effective content marketing

strategy to pull in new leads and as stated by her, it can sometimes feel like a shot in the dark.

She highlighted that without data and analytics to support your findings it can feel almost

impossible to pinpoint what it is exactly that your customers are enjoying, even if you receive a

high response and conversion rate from the contents.

The next one is Sentiment Analysis. This is creating a positive reputation for the

business or brand. She stressed that a sure way to ensure to have control over the reputation of

a product, service, or business is to tap into the emotions of the clients through sentimental

analysis. In order to do so, it can be done: manually or machine learning algorithms that greatly

increase the speed and effectiveness of this data analysis.

She also provided Maintaining Customer Loyalty. She noted that building a better

lifetime value for your average customer is potentially a more profitable application of your

marketing budget than solely acquiring brand-new customers.

The eight is Predictive Analytics. This type of analytics helps a business by: targeting

customers with a higher potential lifetime value; successfully distribute content to the right

audience; determine the effectiveness of digital advertising campaigns before their release; and

effectively cross- or up- sell products.

For Data Science we have Recommendation Engines. With this, if it’s based on

collaborative filtering, it will suggest products to customers based on the purchase habits of

other customers, irrespective of the product type. On the other hand, if it’s based on content-

based filtering, it’s more aware of product type and description and recommends products that

are similar to one another.

She then proceeded with explanation of Marketing Budget Optimization. According to

her, marketing budget should be spent in a useful way that maximized profits. She further added

that by optimizing who you market specific products to, and when, your business can avoid

spending money on marketing strategies that are not driving results.

After with her detailed explanation on the previous topics, she proceeded with providing

businesses who applied data science in Marketing. Airbnb, Netflix, Spotify, and Facebook, are

some of the businesses who used and applied data science in their marketing.

Following the discussion, she provided that there are benefits of using Data Science in

Marketing and Business. It helps to waste less time and money, target only valuable customers,

increase customer lifetime value, quickly learn from customer feedback, predict products that

will be popular, refine the digital advertising, and turn leads into conversions are some of the

benefits using Data Science. Succeeding her fruitful and meaningful discussion, she ended her

discussion with Q&A portion from which participants provided numerous queries.

After the long advertisement, the host then proceeded introducing the third and last

speaker of the event. He is a Risk and Fraud Analyst of Foodpanda, and a graduate of

Polytechnic University of the Philippines with the degree BS Industrial Engineering, Mr. Franc

Vincent Lavilla.

The last key note speaker’s discussion entitled: Basic and Accessible Analytic Tools

for MSMEs Start-ups. Before starting his discussion, he introduced himself and provided

information how his topic will be discussed.

He started his topic with the question, ”Why is data essential to business?” According to

him, it helps evaluate where we have gone right or wrong. Furthermore, it encompasses us

what is our next actions and decisions and deciding without data is like a submarine without a

sonar.

According to him, there are three tools that will be discuss: Meta Business Suite; Google

Analytics; and Google Data Studio. There can be used by MSMEs and Start-ups.

He asked the participants who are using and managing pages in social media platforms

such as Facebook and Instagram. He stressed the importance of using Meta Business Suite in

promoting the products or services of a company.

Mr. Speaker explained that Meta Business Suite helps manage the front end of

Facebook and Instagram pages as well its messenger. It is commonly used by businesses,

products and services.

He proceeded on the real-life application of Business Meta Suite. It provides insights

such as overview, data range control, results, and contents, and audience. He summed up his

explanation with this application with key notes.

The next application is Google Analytics. In this application, it is a plug-in to the

business’s website to measure web traffic—traffic implies website visitors. It is useful for

solidifying the marketing funnel—from awareness, consideration, decision, and buy-in.

Furthermore, it tracks where traffic came from up to their journey on the website.

He then showed a list of Philippine websites that uses Google Analytics. This includes:

Beget; Shoppee; GMA; ABS-CBN; and many more. Their traffic ranges from medium to very

high. It also provides the sales revenue, tech expenditures, social, employees, and traffic.

He then proceeded showing the interface of Google Analytics. It focuses on 5 main parts

of Reports Section. Under the reports section it includes: Real Time; Audience; Acquisition;

Behavior; and Conversion. With this, it provides a detailed and sum data that a business can

use as a basis in their decision-making.

Lastly in his discussion is Google Data Studio. According to him, this is the application

that he mostly uses in his current work. With this application, it provides data visualization site

wherein you can make reports and dashboards. Furthermore, it’s mainly used for more high-

tech business with more complex data. It can integrate marketing, operational, financial, and

many more types of data in one platform.

transfer of money and data to execute these transactions. For Analytics, this is the process of

advertisements in television, it takes a long process, in programmatic ads, there are no middle

people, you go straight to the ads space you need to use and showcase.

A question was asked by the speaker if why switch to Programmatic? According to

him, it’s a profitable expenditure. There is a growing market both global and locally. Businesses

are seeing it’s use and that said, they are moving towards innovation.

In addition, there are benefits of programmatic ads these includes: helps to target a

specific audience; can set ad cost; can set ad goals; can use different mediums; and can have

real-time performance reporting.

He then proceeded explaining common types of Targeting. These includes:

demographic, geographic, and behavioral/affinity. He expounded them one-by-one and

participants find the explanation right.

Mr. Cutar then proceeded explaining how programmatic ad service work. In his

explanation he expounded that advertiser/brand being advertised uses Demand Side Platform

(DSP) and has the list of qualifiers called “targeting” that will determine to whom the ad or
