Why should I connect the RRSS to Marfeel?

Tips to take advantage of this functionality

Social networks have become one of the main sources of information. More and more users are consuming content through Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram, or even YouTube. These platforms facilitate access to information, and make its consumption quicker and more immediate.

Analyzing the traffic coming from these platforms is a must for many digital newspapers, and Marfeel facilitates this task thanks to its multiple integrations.

Next we will see some of the most relevant functionalities:

Content Filtering in Marfeel Compass


One of the first advantages of connecting social networks with Marfeel is the ability to filter and segment traffic coming from these platforms. Through Marfeel Compass, users can customize filters to monitor social traffic.

For example, it is possible to add a "Social network" filter that allows visualizing and analyzing traffic from specific networks such as TikTok, Twitter or Facebook, making it easier to understand how these contribute to the overall site performance.

Filters can be added to the Marfeel Compass.


 

Impact of Publications


Another interesting functionality is the impact of publications in different social networks on a given news or article. Marfeel offers a very visual analysis when we select a publication from Compass.

Impact of Publications.






 



 

When we open the publication, the icons of the different social networks appear above the time series. This way we see quickly and easily which posts bring more traffic to the article, which networks generate more volume and the impact over time.

New Metrics and Dimensions in Marfeel Insights


The connection to social networks introduces new metrics and dimensions in Marfeel Insights. Elements such as "social post text" allow cross-referencing information about published content with social interaction metrics, such as comments and shares.

Another very noteworthy functionality is the ability to analyze content performance according to content-related dimensions, such as sections, subsections or authors.


Configuring the report as seen above, we get a table like the one shown below.


 

This table allows us to quickly visualize which authors, type of content, sections, etc. generate more comments, interactions or likes regarding the publications that are made. This way we see what type of content is performing better in each of the social networks.

Another interesting dimension is that the content is performing better in each social network.

Another interesting dimension is social post text, which allows us to see the content of the post directly on the Marfeel interface.

Content Planning and Scheduling


The last functionality we are going to see today is the planning and publication of content in RRSS through the social planner.

In the side menu we access the planner section. Once inside we will see a summary of all posts, both those published and those that are scheduled.



Social planner.


By clicking the button at the top right we can create a post and share it instantly or schedule it for later. By default, when posting content instantly, there is a 1 minute window to edit or delete the content.

Currently, it allows you to schedule content on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest, but other networks are expected to be added soon.

This is the latest news from Marfeel in the field of social networks. If you found this post useful and you want to keep up to date with the latest news about this tool, do not hesitate to subscribe and follow us.

The seventh wave of AI is redefining CRM and data strategy

Artificial intelligence is not just another improvement: it is, in the words of George Colony, CEO of Forrester, the seventh wave of transformation that will redefine the technology sector. This change directly affects CRM, analytics, and marketing automation, forcing companies to adapt or be left behind.File:George Colony in 2011.jpg

Marketing strategy Tracking data stratergy third-party cookies

How the end of third-party cookies impacts your marketing strategy

The announcement of the definitive elimination of third-party cookies marks a turning point in the digital ecosystem. This is not just a technical adjustment in browsers: we are talking about a structural change in the way companies collect data, activate advertising campaigns, and manage customer relationships.

And although it may seem like a distant issue or one exclusive to large corporations, the reality is that it affects any business that uses digital advertising, email marketing, retargeting strategies, or affiliate programs.
That’s why understanding its impact and knowing how to prepare is key to staying competitive.

What are third-party cookies and why are they disappearing?

Third-party cookies: the foundation of digital marketing until now

A third-party cookie is a file placed on your browser by a provider other than the website you are visiting.
For example, if you visit a blog that uses Google or Facebook ads, those systems install cookies that track your behavior—even when you browse other sites.

Thanks to those cookies, advertisers could:

  • Follow you throughout your browsing.

  • Show you ads based on your interests and behavior.

  • Measure the impact of their campaigns.

  • Build detailed profiles without requiring you to register or provide data.

In short: third-party cookies were the backbone of programmatic advertising and retargeting.

Why are they being eliminated?

The official reason is user privacy protection.
More and more users demand control over their personal data and how it’s used. Regulations like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California have forced major players (Google, Apple, Mozilla) to move toward a more privacy-friendly model.

But there is another angle:
Google, owner of Chrome and a leader in digital advertising, is redefining the game to maintain market control and limit competition. By eliminating third-party cookies, Google ensures that only those who manage first-party data or operate within its platforms can effectively reach users.

The three major pillars changing after the elimination of cookies

1. Campaign measurement and attribution

Until now, measuring the impact of a multichannel campaign (ads, email, web visits) relied on attribution models based on cookies.
For example:

If a user saw an ad on Instagram, clicked on a Google ad, and then made a purchase on the website, cookies helped trace that path.

What happens without third-party cookies?

  • Conversions attributed to third parties will decrease.

  • The user journey will be harder to track.

  • “Last-click” or “multi-touch” measurement becomes less reliable.

How to adapt?

  • Prioritize first-party data measurement by connecting your CRM with analytics platforms.

  • Implement solutions like Google Enhanced Conversions or server-side tagging, which allow more accurate measurement without relying on cookies.

  • Explore proprietary attribution models, such as integrating sales or CRM systems with analytics tools.

2. Audience segmentation and activation

The end of retargeting as we knew it.
Without third-party cookies, platforms can no longer create audiences based on behavior across different websites. This directly affects:

  • Programmatic advertising.

  • Dynamic retargeting campaigns.

  • Affiliate campaigns based on cross-site tracking.

How to adapt?

  • Enhance your first-party data: encourage registration, subscriptions, and account creation.

  • Use activation tools like Customer Match (Google Ads) or Audiences (Meta), which let you upload your own data to reach those users on their platforms.

  • Work on lookalike strategies based on your own customer data, not third-party data.

  • Leverage contextual advertising by showing ads related to the content being consumed—without needing to know the user’s identity.

3. First-party data management and value

The direct consequence of this change is that first-party data becomes the most valuable asset of a digital company.
Without the ability to buy audiences based on cookies, you need to build your own database with real, interested users with whom you can maintain a direct relationship.

This means:

  • Developing acquisition strategies based on value: lead magnets, quality content, incentives for registration.

  • Creating automated, personalized communication flows from your CRM.

  • Focusing on the quality of the relationship, not just the quantity of impacts.

How to adapt?

  • Strengthen your lead generation strategies and improve your registration forms.

  • Implement a CDP (Customer Data Platform) if you handle large volumes, or ensure your CRM is well integrated with your marketing platforms.

  • Take care of the user experience to avoid intrusive practices like aggressive pop-ups or forced capture.

What alternatives does the market propose after the elimination of cookies?

  • FLoC and Privacy Sandbox (Google): Google proposes alternative systems based on cohorts, where users are grouped by interests without being individually identified. These proposals still generate debate over their effectiveness and privacy.

  • Data Clean Rooms: Secure environments where data from different parties (advertisers, platforms) can be matched without revealing user identities. Costly but necessary for major advertisers.

  • Contextual advertising: Making a comeback. Showing ads related to the content being visited, with no need to know who the user is.

  • Server-side models: Collecting and activating data from the server side is a technical alternative for measuring and segmenting without relying on traditional cookies.

What should companies do to adapt (and not just survive)?

  • Invest in a data strategy:
    Organize, structure, and connect your databases with your marketing tools.
    First-party data is a strategic asset—not just a list of emails.

  • Train your teams:
    Not just the marketing department. Sales, customer service, IT… everyone needs to understand the value of data and how it’s managed.

  • Strengthen customer trust:
    Transparency and good privacy management will be differentiators. Clearly explaining how you use data builds trust and, in the long term, conversion.

  • Commit to personalized omnichannel experiences:
    The CRM should be the center of a strategy where the user receives coherent impacts across all channels (web, email, app, social).

  • Prepare for new measurement methods:
    Invest in server-side solutions, predictive models, and tools that allow you to measure impact beyond cookies.

Conclusion: Threat or opportunity?

The end of third-party cookies is not the end of advertising or digital marketing.
It is the beginning of a new paradigm where companies that invest in:

  • Building their first-party data.

  • Truly integrating their systems.

  • Personalizing based on a deep understanding of the customer.

… will be the ones to take the biggest slice of the pie.

Because if one thing is clear, it’s that data remains important…
You just have to earn it now.

data base data architecture data quality

No solid base, no AI performance: the challenge of the Data Foundation

In a business context where AI has become the new standard for efficiency and scalability, many organizations face a paradox: they have advanced technology, but they fail to achieve consistent results. The issue usually isn’t the algorithm—it’s the foundation. The Data Foundation is the true determinant of success or failure for any AI, automation, or CRM strategy.

This is confirmed by the latest TDWI (Transforming Data With Intelligence) study, published in June 2025, which warns that more than 49% of companies still lack a database ready to scale artificial intelligence projects.

The Data Foundation: more than just infrastructure

Having a modern data platform doesn’t mean having a solid foundation. The TDWI study emphasizes that an effective Data Foundation must meet three conditions:

  • Data quality and governance from the source
  • Scalable and connected architecture
  • Real-time activation capability

When a company fails in any of these three areas, AI becomes more of a promise than a real business lever.

Key findings from the study

Here are some of the main conclusions of the report:

Only 10% of companies claim to have a fully operational Data Foundation.
40% report severe limitations due to poor data quality, silos, or outdated processes.
Most organizations suffer from fragmentation across data sources, preventing a 360-degree view of the customer.
55% of companies already using AI operationally do so despite their technical limitations, not because of their strengths.

In other words, many companies are running with a backpack full of ballast. And that limits the performance of their AI, automation, or CRM tools.

Why does this matter for your CRM or marketing?

At Hike&Foxter, we see it frequently: companies investing in advanced CRMs, analytics platforms, or generative AI engines… without first securing the technical and structural foundation of their data.

The result:

  • AI models that fail in production.
  • Automations triggered incorrectly.
  • Unreliable analytics reports.
  • Inconsistent customer segmentations.

All of this can be avoided with a well-designed Data Foundation, connected to key processes and with controlled data flows.

How to build a real Data Foundation

These are the phases we recommend implementing if you want to turn your data architecture into a competitive advantage:

1. Technical and functional audit

Before incorporating AI, it's important to review:

What data sources exist and how they are integrated
The degree of duplication, obsolescence, or noise they contain
Where the main bottlenecks are (latency, format, access)

2. Standardization and governance

Without a common taxonomy and control rules, any automation attempt will be fragile. This involves:

Defining unified structures (customers, products, interactions…)
Establishing automatic validation rules
Creating clear roles: who creates, modifies, or validates data?

3. Connected and flexible architecture

A data warehouse alone is no longer enough. You need to:

Connect CRM with analytics, automation, and digital channels
Use scalable environments (Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure Fabric)
Consider data mesh or federated architecture if there are multiple business units

4. Real-time activation

The value of AI lies not just in predictive analysis but in its ability to act.

Therefore:

Connect your Data Foundation with activation tools (such as Customer Data Platforms, personalization engines, RPA)
Ensure data flows in real time
Prioritize use cases with direct business impact (retention, up-selling, lead scoring…)

Conclusion

Investing in AI, automation, or CRM platforms without a solid Data Foundation is like building a house on sand.
Before thinking about “which model to use,” you should ask yourself “what data feeds it and how is it governed?”

A robust and well-connected infrastructure not only improves your current projects but also prepares you for what’s next: autonomous agents, contextual decisions, predictive personalization, and end-to-end automation.
