Customer Engagement

It seems obvious. If you build a rapport with your customers, and you have something they want, then they will buy from you again and again. We want to know what builds this rapport. We know creativity, data and technology are factors but we don’t know how the interplay works. That’s why we developed our Customer Engagement campaign, to find out what makes brilliant engagement, for the benefit of marketers and consumers everywhere.

Better engagement means better business.

Why âpredictiveâ is the wrong way to think about engaging with people

I’d like to propose a few ways to think about customer engagement which focus on proven behaviour and certainty, rather than presumptives and best guesses.

Data is the only way marketers can offer customers the relevance they demand

Data is essential for advertisers and marketers to make their messaging relevant to customers. First party data from within the brand is a key building block, but third party data can often be integral to providing a clearer picture of a customer’s preferences.
