Building user segments and getting them into your downstream tools doesn’t have to take your marketing team’s blood, sweat, and tears. In this short interactive workshop session, Census Customer Data Architect Kurt Steckel will break down the building blocks of reverse ETL pipelines (models, entities, and segments) and show you how you can use them to build sophisticated user segments to experiment faster and more dynamically than ever before.
