10 Ways Adaptive Marketers Improve the Customer Experience

It’s time for marketers to adapt. Whether adapting externally to customers’ unpredictable behavior or internally within a brand’s organization, the time has come for traditional marketers to become Adaptive Marketers—agile customer experience enthusiasts who take a customer centric approach to marketing instead of a channel-centric approach.

Adaptive Marketers focus on optimizing the context, speed and state of each customer relationship instead of each channel. They can simultaneously achieve a business objective while creating the best brand experience possible, regardless of the channel. And they are making it happen now.

Only Adaptive Marketers can personalize messaging in real-time—less than 100 milliseconds—no matter where and when an interaction occurs, using both historical information and in-the-moment behavior data. This is what marketers have been looking for – the opportunity to maximize every opportunity with customers.
