The digital revolution has radically changed marketing, and the definition of “marketing” is continuously evolving – and becoming broader.

Many marketing leaders are rethinking their roles and skills. Different paradigms now apply to customer relations – simple market analyses or the compilation of a marketing mix are no longer sufficient to implement marketing strategies and address customer needs in a target group-oriented manner. Brand value propositions must be consistent and uniformly conveyed across all customer journey touchpoints to achieve the highest possible differentiation and prevent migration to the competition. As information is readily available to customers through digitalization and new connectivity, fundamental knowledge about customer needs is required, which can be converted into effective measures.

Marketing leaders today face four major challenges:

  • Adapting the value proposition by focusing on customers’ needs and expectations and looking more closely at segmentation.
  • Increasing the ROI of marketing spend – based on a segmentation approach as well as on an individual level.
  • Deciding in real-time which messages (digital versus analog) to send customers via communication tools. In addition, these tools must be continuously adapted to new circumstances.
  • Expanding knowledge about customers beyond traditional customer segmentation. Modern marketing is more precise and personalized and requires significantly more data and information to be generated internally and externally.

Customer Experience

In our highly connected world, customers can switch from one provider to another in a second. The result is an increasing level of customer expectations regarding the products and services offered and the experience. The experience must be efficient, intelligent, connected, seamless, personalized, surprising, and innovative!

Providing a “good” customer experience is a necessity and a business driver:

  • It contributes to revenue growth: customers who rate a company’s customer experience as “good” are 34% more likely to buy more.
  • It provides a competitive advantage: customers who think a company has “very good” customer service are 64% more likely to try new offerings.

Beyond delivering experiences, companies need to engage their customers to generate loyalty. Key factors for engagement are the match between brand image and customer expectations and the sustainability of customer relationships. Customer engagement is measurable thanks to new methods.
