Traditional marketing channels were losing their effectiveness Like many other businesses, Vitality operates in a competitive and crowded market. According to Ross, traditional marketing platforms were becoming less efficient over time due to market saturation and the competitive landscape of Vitality’s market.
It was becoming clear that traditional company attributes like sector and turnover were not predictive of whether businesses would engage and buy from Vitality. They simply didn’t have access to more strongly correlated data points that could be used to model the likelihood to buy. This prompted them to question the viability of traditional Ad channels as a go-to-market strategy.
