Organizations are striving to deliver consistent experiences but very few feel they are there yet.
It’s a simple consideration for marketers, really. Not only does industry data continue to support that customers demand personalized experiences when engaging with brands, but if you think about your own consumer driven shopping experiences, you, too, expect that stellar experience at every touch point. And when you don’t get it, that brand has potentially alienated the experience, as well as their shot at engaging with you in more meaningful ways.
Oracle Marketing Cloud partnered with marketingfinder.co.uk to conduct a survey exploring how marketers are adapting to this new age of the customer and the challenges they face.
Less than half (40%) of marketers in the study were able to track the customer journey across channels. These findings, as well as other data points showcasing marketers’ challenges, are explored in our latest eBook, “The Modern Marketer's Guide to Connected Customer Journeys.”

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Connected Customer Journeys

2. Connected
Customer
Journeys
A customer-centric
strategy was once
a nice-to-have, but
not a necessity. Times have
changed because today’s
empowered consumers
demand personalised and
engaging experiences every
time, through every channel.
The days of solely “push”
communication, when brands
sent out untargeted offers
by the truckload have long
since passed - today it’s the
consumer who is firmly in
control. Marketers must ensure
they know what their consumer
wants, when and how they want
it. In fact, brands must become
truly customer obsessed in
order to make sure they are
visible and available in the right
place at the right time. Anything
less won’t do, yet our research
reveals that few are achieving
this to any meaningful level of
proficiency.
Perhaps key to understanding
this poor level of proficiency
is the fact that an explosion of
digital channels has disrupted
the market (and will continue
to), leaving brands struggling
to respond. As these channels
mature, brands must re-engineer
their marketing
departments and capability in
order to deal with disruption as
the norm.
With the new abundance of
online and offline channels,
the challenge for marketers is
not only keeping pace with the
increasingly complex customer
journey, but also knowing how
and when to get engaged. The
reality is that digital disruption
is here to stay - the sooner
an organisation can reinvent
marketing to be digital-first, the
faster it will be able to adapt to
new technology and channels
as they appear or evolve.
Oracle Marketing Cloud
partnered with
marketingfinder.co.uk to
conduct a survey exploring
how marketers are adapting to
this new age of the customer
and the challenges they face.
This whitepaper reveals the
key issues faced by marketers
in this area, as well as best
practices and future trends,
analysis and top tips on how to
get a customer-centric strategy
right.

marketers is knowing
how and when to get
engaged”
3. A customer’s journey, at least in their own
eyes, is connected. Whatever route a
customer takes and whenever they come
into contact with a brand, they have an
ultimate goal and they take steps to achieve
it. If a brand is able to respond to customers
as they take these steps and identify them
across each touch point, they are able
to provide a more valuable and relevant
customer experience. Our survey reveals
however, that many organisations face a
number of significant barriers when trying to
connect customer journeys. Two in particular
stand out:
1. Tracking &
Visibility
Marketing departments are predominantly
measured on brand awareness, leads
and sales. As such, tracking the customer
journey has never been more important,
yet only 40% of marketers are able to do
so across multiple channels. Without this
insight, optimising marketing spend based
on performance is nearly impossible.
Clearly this is an issue on many marketers’
radar with 39% stating that they have plans
to introduce this in the future.
2. SINGLE CUSTOMER
VIEW & SYSTEMS
INTEGRATION
A single customer view, which integrates
all channels and customer touch points,
is absolutely vital when it comes to
connecting customer journeys. Just 8% of
those questioned were able to say that all
of their data and marketing systems were
well integrated. 38% reported that some of
their systems were integrated, with plans
to integrate the rest, while a massive 22%
are just starting the process. 18% lack
any system integration altogether. If your
organisation can’t join the dots internally,
then customer interactions and behaviours
can only be analysed retrospectively, making
true personalisation nearly impossible.
In order to find the disconnect and overcome
these barriers, marketing leaders need to
respond with a strategy. If two of the key
measures of marketing success are leads
and sales, then a connected customer
journey becomes ever more important. It is
easy for marketing ROI to be underreported
if leads or sales are not associated with
acquisition information.

4. For many, email is the cornerstone of
demand generation and has been for
some time. With low barriers to entry, good
market penetration and easy reporting,
it’s hardly surprising that email is often
a prime marketing channel. Our survey
reveals however, that additional channels
are developing as strong performers in
today’s multi-channel demand generation
environment (see chart “Which of the
following channels do you find most effective
for generating business”).
One of the key considerations when
talking about demand generation is a
brand’s own web properties - whether via
mobile or desktop, an inbound (potential
or existing) customer will often start here.
Web properties are also a key conversion
or capture component for many channels,
which rely on landing pages to carry the
baton over the finishing line. Investment
here, including work to improve usability or
ensure that omni-device experiences are
seamless, can go some way to improving the
customer experience and your ROI.
53% of respondents rate social media as
“average” or less when asked about its
importance to their organisation and 46%
of organisations don’t even have a social
strategy. Perhaps key to understanding this
is the fact that 55% of respondents struggle
to demonstrate social ROI. Without being
able to link social marketing (of any kind)
to the bottom line, marketers may struggle
to gain management buy-in or hesitate to
invest significant resources or budget in
developing social or integrating it into their
core marketing proposition. The reality
however is clear - this is a mistake. Social
is mature, as over 1.2 billion monthly users
on Facebook or 255 million on Twitter can
tell you. Social has, in fact, become a key
channel for many with 54% of respondents
making use of it for lead generation.
The answer however, doesn’t lie in individual
channels, but in a holistic strategy. The
solution is not email, mobile or social -
the first step is to know your customer.
Unsurprisingly, being “customer-obsessed”
starts with the customer - what do they want
and what are they doing.
By integrating systems and achieving
a single view of the customer, reporting
and insight can begin to show you which
channels are performing and help you to
balance spend with results. If your customers
move towards one channel, you can be there
waiting - on their terms - and not only in their
email inbox.

5. As you keep hearing, marketing has
changed - sales pitches and repetition
are no longer good enough to sell products.
In the modern marketing landscape, brands
must deliver something of value and be
thought-leaders as an intrinsic part of their
communication. As such, content should
be at the heart of every marketing strategy,
but the challenge is to create content that is
relevant and useful to your customers.
In order to rise to this challenge, marketers
need to look to their data. For many brands
however, bringing data together from multiple
points is proving difficult, as highlighted by
33% of those questioned.
Making sense of that data
and gaining insights from
it is the second biggest
challenge at 23%. This
goes some way towards
explaining why marketers
struggle to know what kind
of content to create and how to get it to the
right consumer.
Unsuprisingly then, there are still a lot
of brands for whom using data to drive
marketing activity is proving difficult. 26% in
fact rated their marketing activities as only
“very slightly data-driven”.
According to the survey results, content
marketing is a priority for most organisations,
with 42% rating it as high, and 18% as
very high. Beyond that, the majority rate
their company’s ability to provide timely,
relevant and personalised communications
as average or above. Interestingly, around
half (49%) are actively creating content
based on buyer persona, and 72% create
specific content for different channels.
Perhaps enouraging, until
you consider that customers
don’t view your organisation
in terms of channels.
Your content needs to be
engaging and useful to
grab their attention, and
by creating a content plan
around personas and/or stages of the buying
cycle you make your organisation more
relevant.
In summary, the biggest barriers to
content marketing do seem to be a lack of
resources (58% of respondents singled this
out) and cost (at 35%). 34% find that the
challenge of how to attribute ROI to content
marketing is also a significant one. The
creation of targeted, relevant, and timely
communications demands not just budgets
and resources, but insight gained from
customer data.

6. Struggling to
Process
Our survey points out that although
the majority of respondents are
somewhat confident in the numbers they
report, “accurate reporting” is currently the
exception rather than the norm with less
than half of respondents having adequate
resources to report effectively. Worse still,
only 26% are benchmarking their current
activities both internally and externally.
Marketers know this is a problem however,
with 67% saying that although they currently
lack benchmarking capabilities, they aspire
towards being able to do this. Where
benchmarking does take place, a long list of
tools is currently used, including spreadsheet
reports, historical organisational data and
published, sector-specific external data such
as Nielsen, Kantar or Dunnhumby, as well as
EPOS data and bespoke research.
Generally, it seems that too little emphasis
is placed on proving the value of marketing
activity, which results in an under-appreciation
of marketing’s contribution
to the bottom line. Perhaps this is
understandable when 29% of respondents
are still using cumbersome manual
processing to prepare reports and as many
as 65% are having to use a mixture of
manual and automatic processing.
When so few organisations are able to
track and measure activity, it comes as little
surprise that the research has also identified
a significant skills gap, not only of technical
and channel skills within the department, but
also particularly when it comes to the more
quantitative side of marketing.
In fact, many marketing departments admit
that the skills they most lack are data and
marketing technology skills, including the
ability to analyse campaign results, followed
by channel-specific skills, such as those
required to address the challenges of mobile
and social. Bringing data together from
multiple points and making sense of it are
the biggest data challenges, with more than
half of respondents highlighting these as
their top concerns.
Resources, or the lack of them, are also a
common problem. Over half of marketing
departments don’t have the resources they
need to manage or analyse data properly.
Many also struggle to manage social and
create content, which may serve to push
these important areas out of focus.

7. The Way
Forward
The modern marketing landscape has changed irrevocably. Customers expect flawless experiences
which deliver personalised, high quality content via any channel, when they want it.
With a content strategy in place, unified data, unified systems and a subsequent ability to visualise
customer journeys and report effectively, brands can see significant improvement in marketing ROI. To
make this happen, marketing leaders need to create an action plan:
1. Integrate
Unify customer information and bring every channel
into the mainstream. Your customers view you as one
organisation, not as separate channels.
2. Automate
3. Create
Invest in automation in order to engage with customers
in a personalised, timely and relevant manner, based on
behaviour.
A modern brand must be a publisher in its own right:
Learn to deliver outstanding, relevant content to
prospects and customers.
4. Demonstrate
Effectively report marketing ROI in line with your
business goals, and benchmark against your industry.
68% of survey respondents lack benchmarking
capabilities, so benchmarking can gain you a significant
advantage.
Whilst connecting customer journeys and taking a holistic view of the customer have both become
fundamental to business success, there are a number of barriers stopping a significant proportion of
businesses from implementing either. Combine this with a need to deliver high quality, highly personalised
content and we find that there is evidently still much work to be done if organisations are to become truly
“customer-obsessed”.
