The arrival of big data has delivered a plethora of new data for insights into customer preference and behaviour. Online browsing activity, for instance, presents a rich tapestry of customer preferences and sentiment, and has been used almost exclusively to build behemoths such as Amazon and Google.
With the launch of the seventh edition of Apple’s iPhone last week, it is easy to forget the smartphone device category is actually less than 10 years old. Yet it’s a trend heavily influencing the development decisions at five-year-old online fashion retailer, The Iconic, which has adopted a mobile-first approach to how it reaches its customers.
As the marketing manager for Frucor Beverages’ energy drink, V Energy, Craig Harkness’ target audience includes possibly the world’s hardest-to-reach segment: 18-to-24-year-olds.
One of the first causalities of any cyber-attack is brand reputation. But when you are the chief marketing officer of one of the world’s largest cybersecurity companies, the stakes are so much higher again.
You’ve pulled up outside a property from your preferred hotel chain, ready to check in for the night. You’re a stranger in a new city, but the concierge greets you personally and by name. Before you know it, you’re handed your keys and are heading to the elevator. Check in is complete. It’s a scenario that’s not so far from reality thanks to advances in technology for facial recognition in crowded situations.
Any organisation wanting to make the change to a more customer-led business needs to factor in the human element if they’re to be successful, Thomas Cook UK’s leader of business improvement claims.
When you are battling a competitor valued at US$62.5 billion, any edge you gain may prove crucial in securing your position. Such is the situation for Sydney-based taxi booking service, Ingogo, which is tapping design thinking in order to compete in the broader point-to-point transportation market against US-based behemoth, Uber.
There are few industries that have been as resistant to digitisation as financial advice and wealth management. But just as automation and online servicing have reinvented stock broking and other services in the greater wealth management sector, traditional advisors are also turning increasingly to digital tools to boost their service offerings.
There aren’t many marketers who would rate their ongoing interest and involvement in their company’s cybersecurity defences as ‘high’. But for Carilu Dietrich, San Francisco-based head of corporate marketing for Australian-born collaboration software maker, Atlassian, checking in on the status of its ‘severity 1’ support tickets is part and parcel of the job. And it is not just Atlassian she is worried about.
The lure of technology can be a tempting one for retailers, with its promise of data-rich platforms generating deep customer insights and new fulfilment capabilities. But when your proposition is built around offering a great instore personal experience, how do you translate that into the somewhat soulless environment of online?
When you’re used to working with global brands and massive budgets, trading all that in for the tight constraints of a startup might seem like an exercise in masochism.
Government agencies are not renowned for their willingness to adopt avant-garde systems and processes. But for destination marketing agency, Tourism Victoria, a decision to adopt an agile development methodology for its refreshed website has delivered greater certainty and overall value for money.
Many sales and marketing campaigns would be pointless if they didn’t eventually lead to the brand collecting money from its customer. And the goal is to make the payments process as painless as possible, if not entirely invisible.
Typical destination marketing programs have a tendency to fall back on the usual clichés of landmarks, icons and cultural attractions. But for Adelaide City Council, making the city a more attractive destination has meant reimaging what it means for a visitor or resident to interact with the location.
With more than 7 million Australians now on LinkedIn, there is a good chance that any professional salesperson’s prospects will be counted amongst them.
