2. Customer Experience: New Customer Journey Innovation
For both B2C and B2B brands, the ability to improve customer engagement through journey orchestration is dependent on a unified and real-time customer view. This ensures that as brands interact with customers via channels such as the web, social media, and mobile, and real-time changes in user behavior or preferences are captured, resulting in new experiences.
The newest offerings announced at Summit are intended to orchestrate personalized journeys that drive impact, assisting teams in integrating both brand-initiated and customer-initiated experiences.
