Sounds simple but…what does your audience like, what do they find relevant, helpful etc
Hippo is highest paid persons opinion
It is about understanding you audience, what ar sharing. You have a responsibility to know what they are sharing today.
It is not about closing your eyes and crossing your fingers
We can see people sharing posts on SMT about practical tips and news.
Well….Not yet. You can see that something of a huge divide has emerged. When we talk to marketers they think they have come a long way. More than 80% of them say they have a holistic view of their customer. But when we turn the tables and ask consumers, we see that fewer than 4 in 10 feel their favorite, not just all retailers, but their favorites understand them.
And this is not the only place we see an experience divide…

But studies show that there is a gap – an experience gap –
between what customers want and what they get …
81% of marketers say they have a holistic view of the customers across segments/channels
yet only 37 % of customers stated that their favorite brands understand them as individuals … making this gap very real.
