The Privacy-First Playbook for Omnichannel AR Marketing

Your stunning 3D and AR product models are trapped on your website. This siloed approach means you're missing out on powerful opportunities to engage customers on social media, in emails, and at events. This failure to leverage your best assets across all channels results in a lower return on your 3D content investment and missed chances to drive qualified leads.


This playbook shows you how to build the 'Open-Source Privacy Hub,' a technical stack that puts you in control. By implementing a self-hosted Matomo analytics instance, you'll capture detailed data on every AR interaction while maintaining 100% data ownership and ensuring privacy compliance. Learn to segment users based on their engagement, create powerful custom audience lists for manual upload to advertising platforms, and connect Matomo to Brevo to trigger hyper-targeted email campaigns that turn passive AR viewers into active customers.

Expected Outcomes

  • Break down data silos by connecting AR engagement to your broader marketing strategy.
  • Increase the ROI of your 3D/AR content by repurposing it for omnichannel campaigns.
  • Build highly-targeted custom audiences for social media ads and email marketing based on actual user interaction.
  • Maintain full data ownership and ensure privacy compliance with a self-hosted analytics solution.
  • Generate more qualified leads by engaging users with interactive content across multiple touchpoints.

Integration Logic

  • AR-Event-Pipeline

    This integration uses a Matomo webhook to send data to a custom-built middleware endpoint (e.g., a serverless function on AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions) whenever a specific goal is converted or an event is triggered. The middleware script receives the Matomo payload, extracts key user information (such as the User ID, which should be the user's email), and then uses the Brevo API. The script can then perform several actions in Brevo: create a new contact, update an existing contact's attributes (e.g., `last_action_timestamp`), add the contact to a specific list, or trigger a predefined automation workflow.
