  • Customer Experience will get even more social


    “Users judge brands not only by their products but mostly by their user experience and we must be very interested in this trend in order to continue developing our 360 strategy around our clients.”

    The environment will no longer be an afterthought


    “As more Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen A bring their values-driven expectations to the brands they interact with, the success (or failure) of these organizations will increasingly hinge upon their integrity.”

    Customer Experience will get even more social


    When customers have poor experiences, they no longer wait for resolution in a private channel. Instead, they turn their experiences into a public affair with expectations that brands will deliver fast, delightful resolution.

    Personas are over, you will think ‘communities’


    We buy from those we know, we like, and we trust. It’s as simple as that. Marketing’s challenge for the last 70+ years has been how to establish that one-to-one relationship at scale. Social media has for the first time made that possible. Now there is an immense opportunity to activate employees to advocate for their company on social media. Not only does every employee have a network, they have a stronger bond with the people in and around that network than a brand will ever be able to achieve. There’s no question that the marketing winners will be those that empower the people in and around their organizations–employees, customers, partners, etc.–to strengthen their connection with prospective buyers.

    Customer experience will get even more social


    "Big and small companies alike are beginning to have a new understanding of brand. More and more, marketers see that brand is everything – from classic million-dollar broadcast campaigns to every interaction on social channels. Because of this, providing consistent and intentional customer service in the public space of social media is more essential than ever. Not only does this create a positive person-to-person customer experience, but the interaction is visible for all time. Truly, that is brand – and these interactions are going to continue to take new importance going forward."
