Editor's Notes
- #41 Marketers need the knowledge and expertise of the CIO’s entire team to partner on how best to bring together our multitude of data sources into a single system that can drive insights and optimize marketing efficiency. Technology has become a major aspect of marketing, whether it's through social media, hardware or software, customer portals, company websites or marketing email blasts. Working with Richard’s team, we will conceptualize and develop third-party relationships around mutual “data” benefit.
- #44 In order to communicate with our customers we need to understand them and treat them as individuals rather than multiple touch points. Creating a winning strategy and the right technology for collecting, linking and managing all the structured and unstructured data coming into AEG today from disparate sources. Unified databases, normalized data sets, consistent nomenclature is required.
- #47 Education of current staff, involve them in the architecture behind the product.
