Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

At Performics, we define social

results from both participant
“impressions” and “expressions.”
Because the boundaries between
Paid, Owned and Earned nearly
dissolve inside of social platforms,
acute measurement, strategy and

the value of social is more than
fan acquisition, engagement or
community metrics, it is about
driving a comprehensive and data-

strategy to activation.

Mobile marketing is more than
just a marketing channel. It exists
across customer needs, any number
of devices, across digital/physical
bounds and across multiple internal
departments. While it’s true that the
devices that we use are “mobile,” so
too are the hundreds of millions of
customers seeking engagement with
brands and products while they’re
mobile. At Performics, we think
about mobility solutions, which
involves the measured impact that
mobile has on participant behavior,
commerce, conversion and action.
Where They Are, When They
Need You
In real-estate, it’s “location, location,
location,” but the last decade of
digital effectively equalized the
playing field between physical
and virtual spaces, until now.
The evolving application of
location-based targeting through
search, content, and data feeds is
reinvigorating the practice of local
marketing. The ubiquitous use of
smartphones and connected devices

n 2010, a group of affiliate market-
ing veterans founded Performance

Catching up
with Malcolm
Cowley, CEO
What drove this
venture?
In 2010, enterprise
brands were finding it
increasingly difficult to
manage disparate and
fragmented partner
marketing initiatives in
a global marketplace
that was full of poten-
tial.
We recognized that
this was our chance to
imagine new possibil-
ities in this space and
sought to better under-
stand the frustrations
and challenges that
brands and partners had been expe-
riencing. Three key findings emerged
that helped us define our vision for
the future for partner marketing:
1. Brands wanted to manage and
connect with different types of
marketing partners and affiliates
at scale
2. Brands wanted to understand
and consume more data as well
as have the flexibility to integrate
more deeply with partners
3. Partners wanted to ingest more
data to optimize and grow reve-
nue more efficiently for brands
Can you talk about your
product?
Our API-first partner marketing
platform gives our clients and their
partners unique solution to man-
age all aspects of running a partner

zon platform, brands can apply per-
formance-based commercial models

ly to drive higher margin revenues

panies, including 5 of the top 10 For-
tune 500 companies. We empower

7. on innovating - that will never
change. What has, and contin-
ues to change, are consumer
behaviors, their devices, and
the channels they use along the
path to conversion. It’s our mis-
sion to help our customers and
their marketing partners to bet-
ter serve consumers and ensure
that we provide the support and
technology they require.
What challenges did you
face in your initial years?
What can your peers
learn from it?
Our extremely rapid scale and
expansion over the past seven
years has definitely made it
challenging to manage multiple
business units and geographies.
We grew into a truly global
company thanks to our custom-
ers, most of which are well-
known, global businesses that
have very high expectations for
our products, technology, and
support. Consistently exceeding
these expectations is a chal-
lenge we tackle every day with
the support of colleagues across
our offices on four continents.
The key takeaway here is there
is no substitute for experience,
so investing early in the right
level of leadership as we scaled
has paid for itself many times
over.
‘It is difficult to start a
venture, but far more
difficult to maintain
it’ - How would you and
your team interpret this
saying?
We consider accountability to
be absolutely key. It’s one thing
to say “this is what our technol-
ogy provides,” but another to
actually deliver consistently and
well throughout the integration,
deployment, migration and on-
going customer success stages.
The passion to deliver on our
promises to customers runs
deep in our company culture,
which is key to maintaining our
long-term partnerships.
Can you talk about
the factors that have
contributed to your
product popularity and
consistent growth as an
organization?
Many businesses focus first on
what they have to sell instead
of what problem they’re solving
for their customer. We strive
to listen carefully to customers
and potential customers so that
we understand their challeng-
es and goals and work hard to
deliver a product or service that
meets and needs their expecta-
tions. Secondly, it’s important
to build and foster a company
culture that prizes growth.
When you empower employees
to think big and make bold deci-
sions, you’ll be surprised at the
innovation that can happen.
What challenges are on
the horizon?
We are very excited about find-
ing innovative ways to help our
customers grow their business.
Right now, we are looking into
how customers can use their
data more effectively. One
initiative focuses around tying
sales and conversions across
all channels—not just online—
back to the marketing partners’
activities. Correctly under-
standing the contribution of key
marketing partners to a custom-
er’s revenues is very important
and allows both companies to
work more closely together to
further top line revenue growth.
A second initiative centers on
how applying artificial intelli-
gence capabilities to provide
our customers with predictive
insights as well as support to
refine decision-making.

8. Right marketing and sales promotion tools
in the right places at the right moments:
“In 20 years, we have set a work culture at Regan group to be diverse, entrepreneurial, and multidisciplinary”
The Regan Group
A
ugmented reality, live video
streaming, data visualization:
There’s plenty of hype about
which digital marketing trends will
hit the big time in 2017. But, before
you rush to jump onto the latest
trend bandwagon, take a look at these
combat-ready promotional strategies
designed by The Regan Group.
Established in the year 1991, Regan
puts the right sales promotion tools
in the right places at the right mo-
ments, forging real connections with
your audience. We’re acknowledged
leaders in sweepstakes, contests,
games, loyalty programs, FSIs,
mobile apps and every other form
of sales promotion and consumer
engagement, working on behalf of
blue-chips brands and agencies for
25+ years.
In conversation with
the key executive;
Patti Regan
What inspired you to start
The Regan Group?
“In initial days, I grew up frustrated
with my observance of mediocrity
in the marketplace; I just wanted to
bring new things for better, bigger and
amazing future. Being competitive
and doing right things inspire me in
business.”
When I was doing entertainment
promotions for the leading movie
studios in Hollywood, I saw a need
in the market place for feature film
and television promotions. Thus I
decided to focus on helping the
studios to get their movies on
retail store shelves and then
pushing it through the distribution
channel, which helped the studios
to grow their home entertainment
business.
The company’s first product was the
Lions Gate Entertainment film under
this banner “Leprechaun” an Irish
film got promoted. My company has
‘little people’ from all over the
country to do street-team field
marketing, which amassed massive
publicity. The Regan Group then
conceived and implemented the
movie business’ first-ever online
promotion for a feature film saw
“The Blair Witch Project”.
Regan group recruited a team of
college students nationwide to post
faux stories in online chat rooms,
which went viral in just a couple of
days, thus it contributed to massive
word-of-mouth and greater-than-ex-
pected box office admissions.
What was the biggest
challenge you and your
team faced in shaping Regan
Group’s road map?
Road mapping is critical, every year
as a team we work on our 1, 3 and
5 year plans. We understand our
client’s current and emerging needs,
new technologies, and the market-
place in general and as well we define
our own internal operations, produc-
tivity and profitability for the compa-
ny’s growth.
What kind of mixed responses
have you received from
your consumers? What are
you doing to ensure for the
growth of your company?
When I understood that product
distributors, retailers, and consumers
are alike and constantly looking for

digital marketing. They are also in
search of online and physical world
promotions that got significantly
increase in consumer engagement
and eventually help to ‘ring the cash
register’. Consumers are also looking
for promotions that are easy-to-use
in online, mobile and social environ-
ments, so here, technology plays a
vital role in promotions created and
activated by The Regan Group.
I realized the necessity for digital
promotions industry is consumer
engagement, what brands really
need is the ability to capture con-
sumer contact information, demo-
graphic and behavioral data, and
relevant analytics. So I began to
develop and operate a number of
online tactics that would be able to
capture particular data in a pro-
motional environment and reward
consumers for providing the
information. With this kind of
approach it was able to satisfy the
needs of brands, distributors, retails
and consumers simultaneously, and
cost efficiently.
A client, Mimi Wunderlich, Brand
manager at Villa Italian Kitchen says
“TRG’s promotion for Villa Italian
Kitchen, the “Passport to Italy
Sweepstakes,” was the most successful
promotion in our company’s history.
It increased our fan base by 13%, and
delivered great results all around.
We can honestly say that TRG knows
every detail of the consumer acti-
vation business, and we’ve been the
beneficiaries.”
What’s your company’s
biggest asset?
Team, Clients, Bank Relationship,
Emerging Technology and
Exploration; The continual learning
and best-practices taught us to
use current and emerging technolo-
gies. We provide to clients the best
things, productive and efficient; to
fuel the growth and longevity of our
company.
Share your experience on the
success of Regan Groups?
Talking about Regan group’s suc-
cess- that was ultimate experience
–it was dream come true-(vision,
continual technology exploration,
innovation, and unparalleled client
service). And I have to thank my
team without whom Regan Group
success would be impossible - it
didn’t come not only through ability
but on mutual respect and a positive
working environment.
