TFG was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. However, since conversational AI is still a new technology, TFG had concerns: 
STAUFF openly admitted that it had quite a few business challenges to overcome while attempting to rev up its digital transformation initiative. The company was aware that new technology was needed, but they didn’t have an in-house development team, and in turn, had no idea where to begin the nuanced and complex transformation process. As its customers continued to expect manufacturing partners — like STAUFF — to be easy to do business with and personalize buying experiences, the B2B brand could no longer put their expectations on hold.
These customer expectations were as vast as they were varied. For instance, its maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) customers wanted real-time order status information (e.g., tracking) and instant checkout without any barriers, while the distributors STAUFF worked closely with were seeking quick-order functionality for large quantity orders and seamless access to partner assets.
Finally, its original equipment manufacturers (OEM) customers now preferred cohesive technical consulting interfaces with rapid prototyping services. The various customer necessities combined with the company’s pain points quickly accelerated STAUFF’s need to digitally innovate efficiently and effectively.
Apple announced new privacy-focused features for Apple Mail that impacted the way that many companies did business. In particular, this affected key areas such as targeting, personalizing, and evaluating emails.
The privacy-focused opt-in stops senders from using pixels to collect information about users. It also prevents senders from knowing when users open an email and masks their IP address so it can’t be linked to other online activity or be used to determine their location.
Great for user privacy, but not so great for companies relying on email marketing.
musicMagpie noticed the shift away from third-party cookies, especially once Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) launched. musicMagpie had the proper foresight to realize they would lose a lot of valuable data.
For musicMagpie, cookie limitations meant the possibility of making the wrong strategic decisions, experiencing higher costs per acquisition, falling short on personalization, and lacking intel on the proper budget allocations. If the company wanted to continue to offer limitless customer experiences, it would need to make some adjustments.
HellermannTyton was in search of a new Content Management System (CMS), as its former system did not have the capabilities to support such an ambitious digital communication strategy. It was looking for a solution that could help support its efforts to personalize content for its loyal customers.
UFG was looking to drive more on-site personalized engagement among customers shopping with Topankovo, a retailer of best selling shoes, handbags, and accessories. Topankovo was looking to improve conversion for curious website visitors that may have been browsing or found items that they liked but abandoned their shopping carts.
Conventional marketing channels often struggle to serve a particular segment. If this segment of customers is unresponsive to traditional methods of marketing, they’ll avoid subscriptions and promotional emails. That means that without a direct channel like email or push, discounts cannot be delivered to customers.
Topankovo needed an innovative way to offer tailored promotions and discounts to customers that were personalized based on user behavior.
In the highly competitive travel industry, maintaining customer loyalty is one of Kiwi.com’s most pressing challenges. The brand knew that building strong, meaningful relationships with travelers was the key to long-term success, and that understanding every customer’s unique needs was essential for ongoing engagement.
To make sure that important every touchpoint — from Kiwi.com’s website and campaigns to its mobile app — nurtured a valuable connection with its audience, the company needed to:
With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse, dedicated fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed to deliver marketing campaigns that were fast, relevant, and effortless to execute.
But demanding campaign-building processes were slowing things down. Each launch required new content, audience segmentation, and journey building, with multiple steps and collaborators involved. These bottlenecks made it difficult to launch campaigns quickly, limiting Sideshow’s ability to react to real-time opportunities.
To keep pace with demand and personalize its messages across channels — without adding complexity — Sideshow adopted Affinity, Bloomreach’s autonomous marketing solution.
