Now more than ever as organisations we need to accelerate our digital engagement and use our content intelligently, sensitively and helpfully.
One of the only ways to connect with customers is digitally, and so the challenge for us as brands is how do we deliver a relevant and engaging experience at scale? And, within that, how do we make sure that we're tailoring the right content, to reach our audiences in the right ways, at the right time?
In this webinar, we'll discuss the importance of personalisation in delivering an outstanding customer experience and the challenges marketers face when it comes to delivering true one-to-one personalised journeys. We will then look how Episerver's new Content Intelligence and Content Recommendations can, through the power of AI, help marketers gain deep content insights and automate true one-to-one, personalised marketing at scale.

9. Personalization is a process that creates a relevant,
individualized interaction between two parties
designed to enhance the experience of the recipient.
It uses insight based on the recipient’s personal data, as
well as behavioural data about the actions of similar
individuals to deliver an experience to meet specific
needs and preferences.

failure. In a busy marketplace, not standing
out is the same as being invisible”
