When Insight Is Everything

• Multiple email vendors have consolidated with larger technology providers
• Innovation has been driven by integration and not by development of new
capabilities
• Marketers continue to struggle with accessing big data
– Email Event Data/Display Data/Social Data/Push Data/Off-Line Data
• Marketers are far from fully leveraging technology to develop individualized
communications
• New subscriber acquisition has become more challenging
• Marketers have come to accept the status quo for actionability, i.e. multiple
platforms and an incomplete view of their customers…channel specific limits
• Email is still perceived as a stand-alone channel

The future of email marketing is one where email doesn’t stand on its own, rather
it is at the core of an integrated digital ecosystem that delivers contextual
communication across all channels for marketing, sales, and services enabling
the delivery of individualized communications to the customer wherever and
whenever the customer expects it.
• Customers have to be the primary drivers of communications
• Algorithmic approaches will gain wider acceptance, and become part of an
overall analysis framework for customer obsessed organizations.
• Technology proliferation will outpace consolidation and incorporation into full
stack solutions
The Future is Customerization
6. Build, define, activate, and motivate audiences
across multiple channels.
Customerization delivers a consistent experience to the
consumer wherever, whenever, and however the consumer
chooses to consume it.

Yet far too often marketers are left send out massive campaigns to an increasingly fatigued subscriber universe. Does more email delivered equal more customer engagement. If it was the case marketers would email subscribers hourly. While close to 70% of marketers say engagement is critical, some 43% of the time the same marketers surveyed were unaware of technology innovations that could be leveraged to improve engagement. So are we running to hard to execute in our channels or are we not used to executing around the customer.
Email seems to be the tie that binds these channels together thus increasing email marketers responsibilities. How may people here are responsible for email marketing. How many have some responsibility over social, display and or direct mail? Do we own channels our customers?
From our perspective…email is the tie that binds customers to brands and brands to personalization across a rich and robust digital ecosystem. But to be effective its imperative to include analysis in every thing marketing
Analysis at the most granular of details across all touch point enables for a differentiated level of customerization. That is….deliver consistent experiences meting the customers expectations wherever, whenever and however they expect it. How do you do this….most collect transactional and event data, but struggle to tell me the story about the customer…who are they, what do they like, dislike…just because I know what you browsed and bought doesn’t mean I know who you are…..who and what combined is a big opportunity for email marketers and the potential of customerization.
Marc
The combination of what behaviors we know about enhanced with consumer descriptive data allows us to deliver a different level of personalization. Start slow and add simple things…Gender, family status, homeownership as an example.

The insights around who and what will lead to coordination across and around channels. Answer questions like:
When is enough in enough in email. Does coordinating messages across channels lead to greater engagement, greater revenue?
What channels should I leverage to reactivate inactives? Can avoid spam house risk?
If you cannot answer who bought or transacted and can only answer the what someone did or bought, do you know your customer? Can you customerize your communications? Insight is critical, and having the right data in a place where you can take big to small and avoid one size fits all.
Why the platform is different “insights lead engagement” “central point of control” Insights leads to everything outbound, touch points. Our strategy is to bring insights into everything we do so it is part of everything our client marketers do.

Insights testing helps marketers identify which insights should be rolled out (implemented insights), which require more testing, and which are dead ends. As we know a channel like email drives multi-channel response (ex. An in-store purchase) so to really understand why a customer does, or does not, something we need to understand all relevant, trackable, customer actions
What is our System of Engagement? Our System of Engagement unites technology, process, and marketers to turn Big Data driven insights into actionable, goal oriented marketing communications that creates customer action.
What is the process? Our process focuses Big Data into actionable insights that are used to drive highly effective, personalized, and contextual marketing communications. The customer actions created from these communications are automatically fed back into the System of Record and System of Insight to support measurement, analysis, testing, and future communications (ad-hoc & triggered). As new insights are developed they are tested, and those that are determined to help move the brand towards their goals can be implemented on a broader, automated, basis as appropriate.
We solve client challenges through our system of engagement that empowers marketers turn Big Data driven insights into actionable, goal oriented marketing communications that creates customer action. This diagram provides a high level view of how the system of insight, system of record, and engagement channels work together to create our system of engagement.
System of Insight: The elements that contribute to understanding customer and creating targeted, personalized and contextual communications.
System of Record: The systems that collect and record interaction data used to understand customers, and drive elements of marketing communications.
Engagement Channels: The out-bound marketing channels and the in-bound response channels through which customer action data is primarily collected.
