Webinar Highlights
To further deconstruct the report’s insights, MoEngage partnered with The Marketoonist, Tom Fishburne, and Publishers Clearing House’s AVP of Digital Marketing, Eve Fish, for an insightful webinar, now available on demand. This session underscored the report’s key findings and concluded that traditional personalization methods relying on demographics or first names are no longer sufficient. Instead, personalization based on customer behavior and tailored messages according to their buying stage proves far more effective.
“Marketers have always chased the holy grail of delivering the right message to the right person at the right time. But much of today’s personalization falls flat, stymied by data collection, organizational silos, and misguided assumptions. Bad personalization can be worse than no personalization,” said Tom Fishburne, Marketoonist.
Eve Fish added, “The essence of personalization at scale is to determine the ‘who,’ ‘what,’ ‘where,’ and ‘when’ for every communication to maximize conversion events. With our extensive zero-party data from over 38 million fully authenticated customers spanning multiple marketing channels, we recognize the need for a robust customer engagement platform like MoEngage to execute millions of unique experiences.
