Optimizing metadata makes all the difference.

Metadata matters because it gives structure and meaning to the data associated with all that we do in our business and personal transactions.

Metadata matters because it defines your content and your consumers at any given moment. It is about meaning and must change with societal norms in a respectful and inclusive manner. Business needs, user needs, and language change … your metadata needs to adapt to stay relevant.

If data is the language upon which our modern society will be built, then metadata will be its grammar, the construction of its meaning, and the building for its content. Metadata enables us to understand what, when, where, and how data is used throughout all systems in marketing technology and content management.
