What do analytics leaders do differently? More data sources, more often More analytic methods

Broader insight application More real-time experience


What makes these companies different?

They’ve evolved customer insight from a marketing tool

to a business planning tool.

They plan and use analytics across the customer

lifecycle.

They’ve moved beyond measuring marketing

effectiveness to measuring customer lifetime value.

Their approach to marketing and customer engagement

hinges on being contextually relevant.


Key takeaways

› Break free of traditional notions of customer

data

› Leverage big data analytics in areas that impact

customer engagement

› Audit customer analytics needs across your

customer’s lifecycle
