“ Big data will spell the death of customer segmentation and force
the marketer to understand each customer as an individual within
18 months or risk being left in the dust “
– Ginni Rometty, CEO, IBM
“Being locally relevant has always been the core of success in
retailing, going back 100 years to the town general store whose
owners knew what their customers wanted, liked and would like to
try. Social is like the ultimate customization vehicle, giving us back
the local relevance we had lost in trying to get scale and lower cost.
It makes that era of 100 years ago really possible again.”
– Stepen Quinn – CMO, Walmart
“ It used to be top down. Where companies would go out and
conduct a survey and collect data. Now we are walking around with
devices that log everything we like, picture we take, store we visit.
You don‟t have to go out and find data. It is now coming and finding
us. “
– Jake Porway – National Geographic
