2020 was the year that changed the future of customer experiences for good. Often, digital isn’t the primary channel anymore; it’s the only channel. And that places a whole new set of pressures on your content (and the system you use to manage it).

The events of 2020 have shown us that Inclusion & Diversity is a mainstream topic for all digital businesses. 

For years, we’ve been talking about ‘headless’ and ‘swappable’ architectures being key to creating agile, responsive experiences. Now comes the real test – a period of uncertainty unlike any we’ve had.

As the world’s innovators we have the ability to create the future, and a duty to ensure that future is sustainable.

Getting your data strategy right is crucial for achieving your objectives and delivering success.

Yet as customer touchpoints become ever more complex, data collection becomes more fragmented, increasing the risk of a disjointed customer view. Rich first party data is key to achieving a deep understanding of customer behaviour and the personalised interactions consumers expect - but how can you use this data to deliver competitive advantage? And is a customer data platform (CDP) now an essential part of the digital and marketing technology roadmap?

What?

Digital transformation is a conversation most agencies have been having with their clients for a decade or more. But there remains huge opportunity for agencies able to turn that insight inwards.
