Introduction

My name is Jake Bailey and I’m the Senior Manager of Digital Marketing and Strategy at LinkedIn. So we actually have had a great relationship with Singular. And we have been really happy with the integration so far.

Their Challenge

What’s really fun about my job is that I sit on what is essentially an internal digital marketing agency and so we get to see everything from our recruiting services and job services to our sales, learning, marketing services, as well as our member growth and app acquisition initiatives all in one place.

What is difficult about that, is each team has its own KPIs, it’s own targeting, its own data. But having one centralized place where at least the front end data can live has really increased our efficiency.

A single source of truth for marketing performance

Singular has been very smart in finding a niche in the advertising industry where we as a company, we at LinkedIn, don’t want to maintain APIs with every single app network out there, because it’s going to be way too hard. There is Google, there is Facebook, there are all these third party networks. And if we can pay a company like Singular to own those APIs and own those integrations we’re very happy to just pull that data from Singular back into our own systems to then build whatever robust capabilities we want on the backend.

Singular provides this great front end data across app attribution, as well as all of our other web data, and then we can pull it into one unified place and marry it with all our conversion data, downstream data, LTV data and we can have one Singular, you know attribution platform in place.

And being able to sit on a team that can see everything is really great from a growth perspective. But then having all the data in one place also really helps align us when we have our weekly meetings with executives, or when we have our quarterly business reviews with the top people at the company, having one centralized data source is really important.
