Customer data and consent
Profiles built from agreed sources, with consent and contact preferences recorded and enforced.
Industry context
Marketing automation and customer data in education
We set up marketing automation so every journey uses only the data and consent it is allowed to use.
Marketing automation joins customer data, consent and campaign tools, so the first job is deciding which data may be used for which message. We set up the data connections, consent capture and journey templates, then train the team that will run campaigns.
Schools and universities plan around the academic calendar, with admissions, exams and term breaks deciding when change is possible, and they answer to regulators such as KHDA in Dubai, ADEK in Abu Dhabi and the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia. Academic leaders and campus IT need to agree each change, so we time go-live between terms wherever possible. Marketing consent falls under the UAE PDPL and the Saudi PDPL, and TDRA and CST set the rules for SMS sender registration, so we configure channels market by market.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What to have in place first
Marketing automation is ready to start when consent is recorded reliably and the team has a first journey it wants to run.
- The academic or administrative owner of each process in scope has been named.
- Marketing and the privacy office have agreed which data may be used in which channels.
- The first journeys, and the measure each one should move, have been chosen.
