Big Marketing Trend for, well, forever really
Focus less on the what through tech etc and more on the why…so we can talk to people like people
David Ogilvy, one of the fathers of Modern Advertising said…’Do not … address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone. Pretend you are writing to each of them a letter on behalf of your client.’
Big Data as a word is everywhere
New DMA research suggests the average British person has 3 digital devices with them at ALL times
We are subjected to advertising anywhere between 700 – 5,000 times a day across more than 20 channels
IT HAS TO BE RELEVANT
Which of this is most relevant?
Data allows for a connection
This makes someone feel valued and if they are valued and they are more likely to listen
Classic question when considering marketing campaigns – put yourself in the mind of a consumer or in your case…an applicant or client.
Value exchange – make it obvious why you want the data you want etc
ROI x2 – investment of my time and personal and interest
One of the most iconic British brands around – regular win industry and brand prizes
Worked with them for about 2 years, one of the biggest clients at the agency
Primarily focused on helping them driving quantifiable step change based on the interactions they have with their customers through their loyalty scheme…My Waitrose
No Loyalty in Grocery shopping
People have on average 4-5 supermarket loyalty cards
Purchase is becoming almost entirely offer/discount based
Zombie shopping
How do we break this habit and drive loyalty/repeat visits?

What is the core objective?
Increase frequency, improved offers perception, increase brand/loyalty warmth
The Idea: “Waitrose Pick Your Own”
Put power in the hands of customers to choose the products they receive discounts on
Free to choose > Easy to use > Simple to understand
