About Igniting Customer Connections:
Fire Up Your Company’s Growth By Multiplying
Customer Experience & Engagement
During the past few years I have seen clients fundamentally change the
performance of their marketing by simultaneously focusing their strategies on
improving how customers engage with their brand and how they (and the
broader base of consumers) experience the brand. They’re not just observing
this connection. They’re proactively allocating marketing strategies and dollars to
improve engagement and experience – and ultimately, improving business
outcomes – including sales, share of wallet, and brand equity – dramatically.
That said, I wanted to write a book not based on theory or simple anecdotal
examples. So I have commissioned proprietary research that provides clear
insight and direction in terms of how we, as marketers, should optimize the
range of diverse new channels, media, and technologies to drive brand and
business equity.
I wrote Igniting Customer Connections to help marketers like you use data,
content, and technology to forge customer connections in ways that were
unthinkable just a few years ago. This book is intended to help you take
advantage of the amazing capabilities available today. And also get the respect
(and promotion, of course) that hard-working marketers deserve. It provides a
unique set of research and intellectual property designed to guide you to the
next generation of successful marketing – turning marketing from a cost center
to a vital function that systematically drives profitability for your organization.
