How to transform the customer experience and meet the needs of today’s customer
Savvy digital marketing leaders are connecting online and mobile experiences directly to calls and conversions that drive the bottom line.
New strategies are developed in an effort to boost the bottom line. But even the best-laid plans get sidetracked.
Winning hearts and minds is a continuing challenge for marketers seeking to connect with consumers on an emotional, cultural or behavioral level.
In today's expanding marketing landscape, the chief marketing officer is faced with sheer chaos that must be tamed for better business.
For today’s digitally demanding customer, a rich, personalized customer experience is quite simply the cost of doing business. It is no longer a differentiator, but the standard. It is a journey defined by the customer, who is setting a new pace in an intensely personal race that, in their mind, only involves one runner. This leaves leading marketers to question where and how the next great evolution will happen…and whether their organizations are set up to leap ahead of the curve. Are they set up to thrive, or will they become irrelevant and eventually obsolete?
Agility becomes a key denominator in this new marketing equation. With customer knowledge dispersed across systems of records, insights, interactions and an array of new sources of data, organizations need the business agility to be able to leverage insight from these disparate sources of information. This also requires the ability for the entire customer experience to be optimized—not just the deployment of campaigns—so that opportunities can be captured faster in order to beat out rivals also looking to connect through revitalized customer experience strategies.
Beyond automation, campaign deployment and even lead generation and opportunity capture, marketing needs a new toolkit. The systems and strategies that will be required to effectively deploy them will also demand new questions: Can relevant stakeholders across sales, service and marketing leverage all of the data available to the organization? Does the front line know everything there is to know about the customer? What strategies, linkages and alignments will help make sales and marketing smarter? How can marketing deliver tangible business value in weeks and have the agility needed to support long-term change at the speed of business?
We will also be joined by Pitney Bowes’ Jeff Goldberg, Product Marketing Lead for Customer Information Management, who will share an expert perspective around creation of a digital marketing record for increasing conversion rates and improving marketing communications overall.
Speakers:
In 2007, the CMO Council embarked on a study to track how senior marketers were embracing the customer in real-time, personalized engagements—were we realizing the goal of “right message, right time, right channel” in our communications? At that time, 47 percent of marketing respondents felt they did not have a full view into the profitability of a customer, including access to customer lifetime value insights. Some 60 percent indicated that they planned on looking at personalization as a key route to maximizing customer revenue, and when asked what could hold back their plans, the majority indicated they did not have the analytics, insights or predictive technologies needed to effectively leverage data to personalize experiences.
Eight years later, many marketers feel they are in the same position, struggling to optimize the customer journey using real-time insights and intelligence that enable them to craft robust customer experiences where revenue (and not engagement metrics, like clicks or views) is the goal.
While marketers are still looking to power experiences with personalization and relevance, customers are in a very different space than in 2007. The expectations for service—from self-service to always-available personal or face-to-face service—continue to increase rapidly as customers are not willing to wait for answers or resolutions to issues. Our customers are also being offered new and often more compelling options from new contenders and disruptors…and even worse, despite years of loyalty building, customers are even more willing to leave the brand fold in favor of experiences and service options that can overshadow pricing and promotions. Customers are not just wanting to be known and heard; they are demanding it.
So how are leading marketers predicting where and how customers will react along their engagement journeys? Are there new, harder and more pointed questions that marketers must ask of their own customer experience strategies to better shift to the expectations of the customer? Are we too focused on campaign success while ignoring customer success? How do we know if the customer experience we have developed is actually aligning with the customer’s mindset, behavior and expectations? Have we really thought about the customer first?
To address some of these issues and better understand how real-time marketing decisions are directly impacting customer engagement in this age of “un-marketing,” the CMO Council, in partnership with Pegasystems, will present a strategic overview of how marketers are feeding the always-on marketing brain. Gone are the strategies that simply look to maximize campaign engagements as they are being replaced by customer journeys that traverse acquisition, retention and advocacy to maximize customer lifetime value.
Speakers:
- Liz Miller, SVP Marketing - CMO Council
- Rob Walker, PhD, Vice President of Decision Management - Pegasystems
- Josh Kruter, SVP, Digital Product - Clear Channel
Contextomy happens when we quote something out of context in a way that distorts the intended meaning of the content. In the late 1990s, quotes were used out of context in movie posters; critics were quoted as saying “It’s terrific!” when they really said, “It’s a terrific waste of time!” Today “contextomy” has lost meaning.
In the data-laced marketing world, buzzwords like “big data” and “content marketing” reign supreme. It’s time to reexamine the concept. For marketers, contextomy happens most frequently when we seek to engage with the customer using incorrect or misplaced assumptions about customer behavior. To deliver truly personalized experiences with customers, marketers must deploy new, more intelligent customer engagements that take content and context into account. Context doesn’t come from loose data indicators; rather, it comes from understanding who each customer is, as well as customers’ past, present and likely future behavior. Context also comes from understanding customer channels, timing and environment. Marketers must remember to do this at scale.
Customers expect relevance and connection with the brands they choose. There is a new social contract between brands and buyers based on the use of customer data to enhance the user’s experience. This makes the experience more personal and delivers contextual value to the individual customer’s life—not the lives of people who are similar to them. This can have one of two outcomes: a terrific customer experience or a terrific waste of time. Not understanding the difference will have a direct and possibly negative impact on commerce and engagement.
To explore marketing’s mandate to better identify, understand and engage with today’s customers in a rich, contextual and real-time manner, the CMO Council, in partnership with SAP, will host a one-hour interactive webcast to join brand leaders to discuss and debate where and how context, content and the customer must converge in today’s commerce journey.
Speakers:
Liz Miller, SVP Marketing- CMO Council
Bernard Chung, Sr Director, Global Solution Marketing- SAP
JP Kuehlwein, Executive Vice President - Frederic Fekkai
Gerald Youngblood, Director of Worldwide Channel Marketing - AMD
In today’s digital economy, the marketing landscape is undergoing transformational change. Innovative startups launched just a few years ago have now skyrocketed into major brands. Delivering on the true promise of SaaS and the cloud, these innovative companies are at the forefront of a major disruptive wave, changing the fundamental way that consumers purchase and experience everyday products and services.
Whether currently engaging in online commerce or contemplating such a move in the future, successful CMOs are realizing that their customers want a personalized, frictionless purchasing experience. Consumers seek agile interactions, painless fulfillment, and a memorable experience. CMOs are increasingly embracing a new priority: Identifying new and recurring revenue opportunities and optimizing the consumer experience to maximize customer lifetime value. The good news is that the global digital consumer is ready to spend. According to analyst firm Ovum, global consumer spend on digital content will increase from $76 billion in 2013 to $145 billion in 2018, doubling in a short five-year span.
Working in lockstep with CFOs, successful CMOs are implementing new strategies to price products and services, bill customers, offer seamless payment facilities, create new opportunities to retain customers, and grow recurring revenue streams – all while defining new business metrics to measure success in terms of customer lifetime value. They team with product management to identify new opportunities and even new products that meet their customers’ growing expectations for innovation, engagement and relevance.
To address these new mandates for digital marketing, monetization, and frictionless commerce and experience, the CMO Council will be hosting an online webcast to discuss and debate the realities of transforming organizations, strategies and revenue models and developing winning strategies to successfully navigate the online revenue maze. Vindicia, a subscription billing and recurring revenue leader that is driving the pace of the digital economy, will share expert perspectives, along with key questions that marketers must consider when building new digital revenue models.
Some of the key questions to be addressed include:
Speakers:
It is easy for marketing executives to feel we have been pushed into a defensive position, being asked (nay, mandated) to prove return on every marketing dollar spent. Yet in today’s age of big data, automation, social and digital, the potential we see in new strategies and tools is often laced with more hype than reality. This letdown has only heightened this defensive posture and led to the need for new forward-moving strategies that track to real action and revenue, not just the potential for return.
According to a CMO Council study titled “Mastering Adaptive Customer Engagements,” only 10 percent of senior marketing leaders are highly confident in their ability to leverage data to create exceptional experiences for their customers. A lack of data is also not to blame for this skepticism, according to 48 percent of respondents. So what is slowing our performance and ability to truly advance the organization and boost revenue? What could marketing achieve if less time was spent justifying past performance and more time was spent achieving growth and driving revenue?
It is time for a shift from a defensive posture to one that is decidedly proactive, targeted and intelligence- and offense-driven. It is time for a shift in how marketing thinks about data and how we leverage data for customer revenue optimization. Leading CMOs are moving far beyond the single-view metrics of campaign performance as justification of marketing ROI, turning away from “rearview mirror” metrics and instead looking for those actionable data insights that directly impact the business. This shift in thinking has been intentional and directed to aligning data and intelligence strategies with business performance goals and real revenue accountability to the organization.
This conversation is, at its core, about shifting the data mindset from asking “why” into a process of tapping into relevant streams of intelligence to start asking “how,” with the express purpose of accelerating revenue growth. To help make this shift, the CMO Council is hosting a series of engagements in partnership with Quantifind—both live and virtual—to start this dialogue.
Key topics to be addressed in the CMO Council’s webinar include:
Speakers:
Liz Miller, SVP Marketing- CMO Council
Thom Kozik, VP of Loyalty- Marriott
Rob Roy, GVP of eCommerce & Interactive Marketing- Time Warner Cable
Ari Tuchman, CEO and Founder- Quantifind

Given the significant shift and re-allocation of marketing dollars into online, mobile, social and interactive digital media channels, there is a significant need for senior marketers to better understand online performance and effectiveness measures, the relevance and value of online marketing programs, and the impact of return and spend through enhanced online metrics and analytics.
