Welcome/Housekeeping/Agenda
Fast-forward to today: Digital has come in - Internet, mobile, social – and changed how we see marketing forever.
Now we live in what Forrester Research calls the Age of the Customer – an era where customers have never been more powerful.
They have all the information they need, at their fingertips, to make decisions about what to buy, where to go, who to trust – and they’re never going back. The balance of power has turned irreversibly in favor of the consumer.
However, Customers today still expect to be treated like people. People with individual needs and wants, desires and aspirations. And companies have to respond, by being more in tune with what each and every customer is looking for, and providing them with more tailored information, options and offers, to secure their ongoing business.
And of course, every marketer worth his or her salt knows this, and has been trying to do exactly that – market to individuals. Yet consumers feel increasingly isolated.
They buy from a company, only to continue to be presented with adverts on other web sites for the very product they just bought.
Their email preferences aren’t respected.
They have to register, and re-register again, for services from the same company.
Their credit card data is leaked.
And the visual inconsistencies and jarred conversations they encounter and the move across their experience and across devices, just erode their belief in whether that company really knows what it’s doing.
And along the way their trust has been eroded.
We’ve all lived it – we know how it feels.

You need to collect and connect all this information in one place, to see the whole person once more – the humans that are your customers.
You need to join up all the available information into a single experience platform, to build a complete view of your prospects and customers, and treat them as the real people that they actually are.
Only by recognizing that it’s a single, unique person at the other end of all these communications channels, can you begin to deliver real, personalized experiences to them, at the right time, in the right channel.
we have the ability to collect every interaction an individual has with a brand. We have added the ability to collect online interactions from non-Sitecore sites, through the Experience Manager, social media interactions, offline interactions, as well as the ability to measure transactions or billable outcomes. All of this in an extensible way that allows you enrich this data from other sources as well.
You can attribute each of these interactions to channels that can be molded fit your business.
And we can visualize an individual customers journey with your brand through the Experience Profiles.
