What is Rapid Audience Layer?

Rapid Audience Layer (RAL) is a cloud-based data management solution (initially on Google Cloud Platform) that is quickly onboarded and allows for analysis, insights and visualisation of your data. It collates data from many different sources, stores it in its natural/native form and creates customer centric views. This enables other structured and unstructured data to be accessed and seamlessly integrated.

For marketers, this is a game changer. It gives you the ability to create a fully functioning database, deployed within weeks so you can build insights and audiences across your data.

With RAL, your analytics team can spend less time on data management and more time on analysis. It enables you to explore, query, report, visualise, and analyse your own data – fast.
