BG%20blank.psdFOREWORD
To succeed these days in engaging customers with the brand and its enterprise, thereby increasing enterprise value, the C-suite must deal with understanding the disruption brought about by technology in the marketing world.
To deliver on objectives and to address the changes involved in winning and serving customers, the C-suite team needs to realign the art and science of engaging consumers with brands. Operationalizing adaptation to the new consumer behaviors will focus the full power of martech science and art to build the customer base and enterprise value.
We are living through a time of transformation brought about by Internet connectivity, online technology, personal devices and all those digital interactions that are daily moving engagement away from the still-robust world of offline communication interactions. With connectivity, consumer behavior has dramatically changed.
That this disruption of engagement is not uniform across generations only complicates matters. To a great extent, Baby Boomers have adapted to technology, but it’s hardly surprising that older populations still prefer doing business the old
way — in offline channels with traditional behaviors. Meanwhile, the Generation X and Millennial populations have gone deeply digital but still embrace offline channels. Generation Z (and younger) grew up plugged in; therefore, engaging that cohort is uniquely and dominantly digital.
To use a hockey metaphor, it’s important to skate to where the puck is going — not where it is now. That’s why I suggest that, given the speed of digital and technological transformation, the movement of attention to digital platforms, and the birth of big data, we need to adopt a new way of bonding the customer to the brand.
We need to embrace customer-centricity by examining management silos and solutions to unify all touchpoints into a superior brand experience. In order to do so, it’s essential that we master digital connectivity. Consumers today want to engage in a relationship with the brand — one that’s personal and robust.
CHAPTER 1
RELATIONSHIPPING IS
OVERTAKING MARKETING
To succeed today in cultivating a brand’s user loyalty, in growing brand revenue and returns and ultimately in expanding enterprise value, we need to change four things: our approach, strategy, execution and terminology.
We need to move away from marketing, which is being overtaken by the current technology revolution in which we are immersed. Given that the consuming world is largely a connected world, with consumers connected to brands and their products through mobile devices, laptops and desktops, I believe that we need to create a new name — and a new paradigm — for our initiative: relationshipping. And we need to apply it as a new way of thinking in our efforts to move goods and services.
