What changed?How did breakfast cereal become too much work?
Not necessarily a bad thing. We expect good service. We expect brands to understand us. We have no patience when brands fail to use data that we know they have and could use to tailor their messaging and experice to us.

What does this mean?
Let me give you a quick example.
Julia, on the slide here, is stuck in New York. Her plane has just been cancelled (maybe she flies >insert airline name<).
Normally, she tries to stay in Marriot Hotels, as she is a clubcard holder and likes to collect the points and upgrade her room etc.
Now imagine that in this moment she receives a message from Hilton Hotels. “Hi Julia, sorry to hear your plane was cancelled. We’ve got a quick, one-click-booking special offer for you here.”
Now in this scenario Julia’s needs are met in the moment. The likelihood of her booking is extremely high, as she is thinking of fulfilling her own needs (rest and sleep) quickly. And we can spin this example plenty of ways… You normally drink starbucks coffee, you fancy an afternoon coffee and receive a message from a different coffee store, giving you discount and a free muffin if you pop in within the next hour.
We are bombarding our consumers with messages. Everyone know this to be the truth, but no one in the marketing community stops to think that in fact we are to blame. It’s our industry – people like us – who are bombarding consumers with messages.
To give you an idea of how bad it has become: in the 1970s, people we exposed to an average of 500 marketing messages per day. In 2015 it was 5000 messages. That’s a lot of messages… and it doesn’t even include all the personal stuff, work emails, whatsapp messages, messages from the in-laws etc.!
Many of you will also be familiar with the goldfish example that is often used by marketers. It’s been done to death, but for those of you who haven’t heard the stat: In the year 2000, humans apparently had a 12 second attention span. In the year 2015 that has dropped to a little over 8 seconds. Apparently a goldfish has an attention span of 9 seconds – so congratulations marketing. You have succeeded in pushing the species below a goldfish!
So consumers could ask, “why should I give you 8 seconds of attention?”
And, why does it matter? According to recent research, humans have an attention span of 8 seconds. Below that of goldfish (9 seconds)
In fact, we are such a distracted species, that there are several studies that point towards smartphones changing our brains and the way we process information.
And now scientists are are pointing (our little) attention towards something called: Continuous partial attention (CPA), which is the process of paying simultaneous attention to a number of sources of incoming information, but at a superficial level.
My wife says I am only in the PA state. Partial attention!
In order to keep our sanity, we’ve developed a screening process to ignore most advertising messages
So we have way too many marketing messages, we are changing the way people pay attention and in the midst of all this, I received this message a few weeks ago from my new colleague in the London office.Does anyone know what it means?
Wtf…Yeah, everyone knows this one
tl; dr means too long, didn’t read. I thought I was a young millennial and knew my way around acronym, but I had to Google this. We have changed people’s attention span so much, that there is an accepted acronym for s.t. that was too long to read…
So we know that Consumer Behavior is changing rapidly with attention decreasing and consumers being overwhelmed by messages. So how do consumers behave on their customer journey these days? They live in moments. Google released a highly influential report late last year in which they analyzed a whole bunch of data and realized that the consumer journey is so fragmented and shifting rapidly to real-time on mobile, with rapid jumps between research and readiness to buy, that they coined the term “Micromoments”. And Google made a really good video, which sums up the phenomenon really well, which I would like to show you now…
To succeed in this complex marketing landscape, we at Selligent believe there needs to be a serious mindset shift.
We believe that there needs to be a shift from putting the channels at the heart of everything a brand does, to the consumer.
To clarify what we mean: A traditional approach looks at the data first, before developing the message and then the channel, with consumer considerations coming last.
In a consumer-first approach, we flip the whole foundational idea on its head. The consumer is the delicate and precious resource on which everything depends. And a huge amount of integrity, empathy and relevance is the foundation for the consumer.
As mentioned at the beginning, we are a marketing technology platform, so I have to mention that what is needed to enable this sort of marketing communication is a platform that can handle data from a lot of different sources.
This gives you an idea of the types of data sources you can expect to be integrating. There are so many sources these days and lots of new channels are being added. The important thing to pay attention to is…
Is that you have a 360 degree profile that is able to bring all data together.
At Selligent, we bring all the data sources together and make them visible to the marketer in what looks a bit like a Facebook profile. There, you can see all kind of things, like the transaction history, social media data, behavioral data – basically any footprint he has left. This is then greatly valuable to be able to use in campaigns.
The key element here is the flexibility of the data model. You can add new data fields as a marketer. There’s a new attribute that is emerging as important – add it and it can be mapped across all channels.
Well the good news is that Consumer-First Marketing does not have to be super complex!
Redfin, for example, decided to go Consumer-First by using weather data. Redfin are a disrupter in the real estate market. They were founded in 2004, so they have digital in their DNA. They have a respectful and consumer-first attitude towards communication.
Redfin recognized that unlike other companies, they do not really have the chance to cross and upsell shortly after the point of sales, so they need to take a really long term view on building an emotional consumer-first relationship. They also realized that for house owners, experiencing snow on your new home for the first time is an emotional experience. Many people take photos, some worry about it. Do I need to clear the snow? Will I have problems with the pipes and heating?
So redfin decided to use weather data about homes affected by snow and sent this automated email to come from their agents: “Hi Cynthia, are you surviving the white stuff…? Can we help…?
By taking this personal touch, they got a very high engagement rate and a lot of positive replies thanking them for thinking of them. It’s a simple campaign but powerful in deepening customer relationships.
So now for a real life example. We work with over 700 brands worldwide and I have to say that it was quite surprising to see such a high level of customer-first thinking from a bank of all customers.
Like good marketers, ING wanted to first understand its audience and figure out what they do, where they hang out and what their needs are. Using surveys, they identfied that summer festivals play a huge role in young people‘s lives and so they began to use the surveys to identify what the young people they were trying to target really want. Or to put it in Google‘s terms – what were their needs?
Let‘s have a look at the video…
VIDEO! OK, so what we just saw there were examples of a few of the needs that the bank identified and decided to fulfill. Free phone charging services, for example. There were also others: free parking and perhaps the biggest need of all – free clean toilets! They also decided to leverage the desire to share and show off the fact that they are at a festival and created cool slo-mo video booths with confetti.
We rocked it! (We are the champions – Freddie Mercury)
