The challenge: monitoring, managing and optimizing campaigns

Nova Expressão’s challenge is constantly monitoring the evolution of campaigns, optimizing, measuring and constantly gauging their impact; taking into account that there is a large dispersion and disparity of data between traditional and digital media, which forces the existence of several manual processes to extract and analyze the data associated with these campaigns.

The campaign KPIs vary between platforms and it is necessary to standardize and combine the data to reach a single vision. There are many products on the market that try to solve these problems, however, many of them offer solutions that fall short of the necessary requirements. They often primarily focus on digital media data.


One example is the need to be able to connect to a wide range of data sources generated by paid media campaigns and have the ability to cross-reference customer-owned media with high volumes of data. To do this, it is essential to have an Analytics tool that can demonstrate and incorporate forecasting results.

The solution: Pentaho Data Integration in the automation and simplification of processes

The solution XpandIT implemented allows both Nova Expressão’s internal team and its clients to access information from digital marketing campaigns and traditional media in a simplified way, allowing them to optimize marketing campaigns more effectively.


Data integration is performed through Pentaho Data Integration, which automates and simplifies processes, communicating between the various systems and aggregating all the different media data sources with different APIs, each with their own specificity, in a standardized way. Its great versatility of integration between platforms is thanks to the configuration capacity being highly extensible, allowing development, which is potentially more difficult to maintain.

Existing offers in the marketing data integration market are generally very focused on the digital component. But tailored processes are necessary for traditional media management, and Pentaho Data Integration, with its diversity of available steps, fulfils this need perfectly.

With data integrated into a unified format, it is possible to create knowledge. Using Tableau, this process is carried out in an agile, appealing way for the end user, democratizing access to data in near real time, anywhere in the world, via a cloud platform. 

“It is important to point out that having an agile team is key. Able to execute, learn about the business quickly, advise and understand how to leverage technological knowhow to create a winning solution that contains many specifics. Launching alerts in a timely manner, overcoming obstacles, all in an excellent way.”
