Due to the limitations of current platforms, Customer Engagement has been forced to become more campaign-driven. They don't provide insights, forcing you to run campaigns on guesswork. Humans, on the other hand, are highly complex creatures. Millions of your customers have a wide range of preferences. Brands must be customer-centric and proactive in their approach to catering to these distinct preferences to gain trust.
So, how do you delight customers if you lack meaningful insights? Our VP for EMEA, Jason Smith, discusses how brands can connect with their customers more personally by using an insights-led approach.
