Marketing Goal — Acquisition

Optimizing for new-customer growth. Architectural implications: identity stitching from anonymous to known, multi-touch attribution, paid-media-side audience activation (DSPs, social), and look-alike modeling. Programmatic-side latency requirements often gravitate toward Inter-session (latency-tier.inter-session) due to DSP refresh cadences.

  • applies-to-domainorg-dim.industry.financial-servicesNew account and credit card acquisition via targeted digital advertising and in-branch upsell is the primary acquisition-goal motion in retail banking and fintech.
  • applies-to-domainorg-dim.industry.telecommunicationsTelco subscriber acquisition via competitive-switching campaigns, look-alike audience targeting modeled on high-value subscribers, and conquest digital campaigns requires the paid-media activation and identity-resolution capabilities of the acquisition marketing goal.
  • applies-to-domainorg-dim.industry.healthcareHealthcare member and patient acquisition (insurer open-enrollment campaigns, health system new-patient programs, group practice expansion) uses look-alike modeling on de-identified existing member profiles — Safe Harbor or Expert Determination de-identification is the required architectural prerequisite for any paid-media audience activation under the HIPAA Marketing Rule.
  • applies-to-domainorg-dim.industry.travel-hospitalityLoyalty program acquisition — new frequent-flyer signups, hotel loyalty card recruitment, OTA first-booking campaigns — uses look-alike audience modeling on existing high-value bookers and paid-media activation at booking-intent moments. Acquisition is the funnel entry event for the loyalty membership identifier that anchors travel industry identity.
  • applies-to-domainorg-dim.industry.retailRetail acquisition — new loyalty card sign-up campaigns modeled on high-value loyalty member look-alikes, store-opening trade-area prospecting using geolocation signals, and competitive conquesting via paid-media — is the CDP motion that creates the initial known customer identity from which all retention, CLV, and CX programs flow. Retail's loyalty program is the acquisition funnel's destination identity anchor.

  • applies-whenarchetype.healthcare-provider-hipaa-performance-marketingOC-046 schema fix. Archetype fires specifically for acquisition-goal healthcare buyers: paid-media campaigns for patient or member acquisition are the blocked use case. Retention and CLV healthcare use cases face different constraint profiles. Replacement for invalid applies-to-domain edge.
  • applies-to-domainuse-case.hipaa-safe-performance-marketingOC-051. The use case is triggered specifically by acquisition goals — healthcare organizations running paid-media campaigns for patient or member acquisition. Retention and CLV use cases in healthcare (appointment reminders, care-gap outreach) face different constraint profiles (BAA-covered channels, not pixel-based acquisition).
  • applies-to-domainrecommendation.hipaa-tracking-layer-phi-suppressionOC-090. The recommendation surfaces when a healthcare/digital-health buyer has the acquisition marketing-goal active — paid-media performance marketing is the operating context where HIPAA Marketing Rule tracking-technology constraints apply. Edge follows established convention of recommendation/use-case nodes carrying applies-to-domain edges to OrgDimension leaves (industry and marketing-goal).
  • applies-whenarchetype.marketing-led-mid-market-composableOC-105. Marketing team outgrowing a basic ESP and needing cross-channel customer data unification → acquisition-goal trigger. Grounded in archetype body v3 trigger-pattern descriptions.
  • applies-to-domainuse-case.abandoned-cartOC-109. Recovering abandoned carts converts in-funnel prospects → acquisition goal.
  • applies-whenarchetype.media-publisher-first-party-data-cdp-evaluatorOC-112. Archetype body section 4 describes dynamic paywall logic and subscription conversion as primary CDP use cases — 'RFM-triggered entitlement modulation' and 'churn prediction, win-back sequences' are acquisition and retention levers respectively. WAN-IFRA Trends Outlook 2026 (already in archetype sources) confirms subscription acquisition as primary 2026 media publisher revenue strategy. Routing gap: without this edge, acquisition-goal queries will miss this archetype.
