“Census helped us leverage technology in the right way to make sure we orchestrate most effectively.”
"Without Census, our sales reps would be flying blind or need a dedicated sales analyst to support them."
"Census solves two problems for us. It removes the bottleneck to get integrations out of the warehouse. It also centralizes where we look for data going out so it’s given us a lot more confidence."
"We estimated that it would take six months to implement a CDP fully, but with Census we were up and running in one day. There was no need to modify the code base. There was no UAT. We just plugged it into the data warehouse and were ready to go."
"A data analyst looks at data, looks at dashboards, finds insights, and is then able to activate it using Census all in one step. It’s really, really powerful and I think we're going to get a lot of use out of it."
"Our tech stack including Snowflake and Census allows us to integrate our data from multiple different sources into one source of truth, so that we can activate all our data and unlock it in lots of different ways. Census helps us create audiences and segments and even push machine learning outputs into Braze, or ad platforms such as Facebook and Google Ads. It also means we're not locked into the particular limitations of an individual tool, like a CDP, so we can have a great deal of flexibility."
"This is revolutionary. When we first implemented the data warehouse, we tried to be digital leaders in sport but could never get to a personalized experience. We had the warehouse but couldn’t activate it, because I didn’t want to build a monolithic system and the API. This makes me so happy."
“Census is a big part of how we drive net new business and greatly reduce costs using data. Often you’ll have a multifaceted campaign that needs to target the same users across many different touchpoints. What we’ve been able to do in Census is finally have a system where we can create centralized audiences for all our different platforms and share out that audience to whichever system needs it.”
“Cost scalability is a key consideration for us. We’ve been burnt before with event volumes so we went into cost scalability with eyes wide open.”
“During the evaluation phase, we found Census to be so much more user friendly. It’s one of the best tools that I've ever used in terms of how easy it is to integrate with other tools, connect to Snowflake, and even build segments. It's literally very intuitive and it feels like the people who've created the product have really tried to put themselves in the user's shoes.”
“My background is marketing and I'm finding Census very, very easy to use compared to other tools. You don't have to be an engineer to actually understand how to use it.”
"We have a fire hose of signups and users that come through — having that data live in a CRM is not optimal. But once you have structured data coming through the data warehouse, you're able to pass that back to your GTM (go-to-market) teams in a highly actionable way."
“Whoa, this is kind of like Fivetran flipped around to the other side of the data warehouse. It's exactly what I'm looking for!”
"Census handles the PebblePost integration using SFTP — sending customer addresses in the format that they want and the segment they’re part of as a tag."
"We've been able to train folks who traditionally would write out a request form, send it to the BI team, and wait a few days to get their data. Now we've got analysts outside of the BI team, folks who aren't comfortable writing code or merging changes into our BI repo, that can set up their own connections to feed their operations tools out of our warehouse."
