Data: The silent movie producer
summary
Legendary starts with a 50,000-row spreadsheet and no formal data systems then builds analytics to inform casting, release dates and marketing. Marketing shifts from TV “spray-and-pray” to targeted digital audiences, using partner data to predict conversion and run a targeted China campaign that helps Warcraft and The Great Wall each exceed over three-quarters of a billion dollars. Tools focus on first-party conversion signals, audience segmentation and ROI measurement across campaigns with marketing budgets in the tens to hundreds of millions.
