    Developing Future Strategy: Long-term thinking for marketers

    This report covers both the ‘why?’ and the ‘how to’ plan for the future in a rapidly changing digital landscape ripe with disruption.

    This report argues that now, more than ever, it is crucial that marketers consider and have opinions on the long-term future to ensure they are agile, informed and prepared for any major shifts in their sector, customer expectations and society at large. It also ensures that their organisations are prepared should seemingly futuristic technologies suddenly accelerate forward and become a contemporary reality, bringing with them disruption and opportunity.

    To survive and thrive in the AI revolution

    It would be true to say that Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of technology that has suffered from over-hyping and confusing language, but clarity is finally developing.

     

    We are seeing companies using the sub-set of AI called Machine Learning (ML) to delve deeper into their data to increase efficiency, gain a greater competitive advantage and boost their bottom lines. But.the most successful brands also realise that to achieve these business goals they need to focus on customer experience. And ML definitely offers opportunities for new experiences.

    How digital technology and neuroscience can be used to create more customer-centric organisations. Welcome to the matrix and beyond.

    The traditional purchase funnel is no longer an adequate model for marketers, with customer behavior becoming less linear and predictable. This research introduces the Customer Journey Matrix as a tool for planning marketing activities and thinking about how emerging technology can be successfully harnessed by retailers.

    In this report, we also consider how findings from the fields of behavioral economics and neuroscience can inform how digital marketers can optimize the customer journey.

     

    The report sections include the following:

    • How customer decision journeys have been looked at in the past
    • Changes to the customer journey brought about by digital
    • New technologies that could further disrupt how brands interact with customers
    • The psychology of decision making
    • New strategies for the retail environment where physical and virtual realities blur

    This report will demystify the world of virtual reality and explain how it can form part of your marketing ecosystem.

    The boundaries between what we have known as ‘reality’ and ‘virtual reality’ are rapidly collapsing. An experience online is as meaningful to many as an experience in the physical world. And both can interact with each other.


    Virtual reality allows people to experience a brand’s offering in a real and visceral way that other media cannot equal. It can transport people to a stadium, a holiday destination or a shop. It can do this with animation or real video. It can even do this in real-time with live streaming. The possibilities for selling experiences, educating and entertainment are endless.
