Agencies take note
We’ve hinted before that agencies that can’t transition from
pushing out messages to nurturing customer connections
aren’t long for this world. Agency readers, heed our warning.
Services firms that lack data management, analytics, listening,
social media execution and strategy expertise will dry up.”

A few thoughts
  Be under no illusion – the   world has changed - immerse
  yourself in the new world
  Engage with experts – CEAs
  Develop a roadmap – and take      gradual steps from your starting
  point

  But have a vision to work to in the medium term – don’t let new
  initiatives be separate from mainstream marketing for long

  Ensure you are in control of access to technology
  – this underpins all customer engagement activities

  1. Because marketing as we have known it is dead : the consumer has outgrown the marketer, and the marketer has so far failed to respond in a timely or effective manner.It is a paradigm shiftNew channels put the consumer in controlGet information when they want information web critical hereBlock information flow if they want Hit the spam button, register on various do not contact lists, unsubscribeShare information with each other very effectively Power of peer review and social media is staggeringMuch higher expectation of relevanceMuch lower tolerance to interruptionAs evidenced by lower and lower response rates to traditional marketing activityThink about it, here are a few statistics :
  2. What are you, and if you’re an provider of services to marketers, what are your clients doing about it?
  3. Maybe saying Marketing is Dead is a little dramaticBUT Marketers need to take a new approach to engaging with their audience as the old approach is in rapid decline. They need to : Understand the consumer – as an individualCreate relevant contentDeliver relevant content at each touchpoint based on behaviourWe are using the term Customer Engagement for this activity
  4. From Mass Marketing to Mass Engagementat an individual level, with millions
  5. From Mass Marketing to Mass Engagementat an individual level, with millions
  6. A great number of marketers are like rabbits in the headlights– they are being bombarded from every direction – need to demonstrate clearer and higher ROI rapid growth of web as arguably THE most important interaction point and the requirement to wrestle control from ITwhat on earth is all this social media stuff anyway and how can it be harnessed in marketing effortsAnd so on. For sure it is a journey that marketers are on. And everyone has a starting point on the journey.We see many marketers currently grappling with things like :Bring together good DM principles with your websiteCombine your website and email activitiesListen and respond to social mediaThe ultimate aim being to integrate it together around a single data infrastructure- Lets face it the consumer expects to be communicating effectively with an organisation irrespective of channel
  7. There is plenty of evidence that marketers are looking for effective starting points to address these challenges.Here is some data from an event we ran recently in London. Making the Web an effective engagement channel, and addressing Social Media, are critical starting points for many marketers.
  8. Particularly looking at the web site then : 89% said individualisation relevant or critical to them or their clients
  9. Our recent survey identified that there is a long way to go in considering the web as an integrated communication channel with 61% of marketers not using web data alongside other customer data.
  10. In response to this need, we are seeing the emergence of :Technology to support this journeyBut an issue is the starting point – individual direct communication vs web site design vs enterprise search etcWe believe this is all about the individual, and the practices of direct marketing need to be applied across all channels and touch pointsService providers to support the journeyCustomer engagement agencyCombining Strategy (data & analytics), Creative and Execution at an individual level Again, what is the best starting point? DM Agencies? Interactive Agencies? Certainly seem to us to be being used as the Trojan Horse by the big networks.Currently only 4% of respondents to our latest annual survey work with a single agency for their direct and digital marketing requirements. How does that translate to a customers experience of the brand across multiple channels?At Alterian we believe that this rapid transformation is a fantastic opportunity for the industry to develop and respond. We are investing heavily in delivering the most powerful platform to support this journey. As well as our organic development over the past years, we have added Mediasurface (WCM -> web analytics for the direct marketer, with knowledge of content -> web site optimization), most recently TechrigySM2 to make social media a core aspect of any campaign or engagement.
