Digital has completely upended the marketing and advertising world, fundamentally changing the industry as we know it. Now it’s less about campaign-building and more about the convergence of marketing and technology to guide digital transformation.

In today’s competitive e-commerce environment, personalizing the customer experience is the number one priority: To drive conversion, the right message needs to be sent to the right person at the right time. How do you accomplish that? Increasingly, AI is emerging as the best way to offer a truly one-to-one experience to customers. A Gartner study notes that “by 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human” and that by 2040, “more than 40% of all data analytics projects will relate to an aspect of customer experience.” So what does that look like?

By now, most companies have at some level realised that they need to embrace digital transformation. For the most part, however, these efforts are still limited to upgrading IT infrastructure, with very little thought given to the rest of the organisation.
A more holistic approach to digital needs to be adopted and “the customer” should be given more focus in an organisation’s digital transformation efforts. It is, after all, customer experience (CX), more than any other factor, that sets an organisation apart from its competitors.

Every successful company knows that customer experience (CX) is important and that developing and refining it to delight customers is a priority.
However, there’s often a debate about who should own the customer experience project. Should it be outsourced to a bunch of consultants or subject matter experts? Or should it be managed in-house by a cross-functional team?
