the demands of always-on marketing.

experience

6. Step 2
We have come to believe that a power
greater than ourselves (our customers)
can give us the right singular focus to
restore our sanity.
9. “People are more loyal to
their need in the
moment than to any
particular brand.”

10. Step 3
“We will take a fearless inventory of our
insights, vision, and execution and score
them.”
11. Buyers go through 57% of
the purchasing process
before ever talking to
sales

12. “That’s our challenge: to be in the
spaces where our audiences are
and understand that they will
leave us if we don’t work with
them and understand their needs.
” Gavin Heaton, “The Future of Marketing: Six Visionaries Speak”, A conversation with The Economist Intelligence Unit.
17. Step 4
“We have clearly defined the
Customer/Personas we care deeply about
and serve.”
18. Step 5
“We have honestly assessed our market
share and benchmarked against the
competitor set as it relates to customer
experience and satisfaction.”
19. Step 6
“We have made a list of forces outside of
our control that can, will, and could impact
our business negatively or provide us
unique opportunities to leap ahead.”
20.
21. Step 7
“We have a clear alignment between our
current c-suite business goals, our customer
goals, and our marketing objectives.”
22. Step 8
“We have a documented customer journey
and have a current assessment of our
performance across key touchpoints.”
23. Step 9
“We have calibrated the scope of our efforts
to act to the budget of resources and
prioritized the plan to deliver the kpis within
a scheduled period of time.”
24. Step 10
“We have communicated the current
strategy to all stakeholders and aligned
one-company accountability around
customer experience.”
25. Step 11
“We have humanized our tactics and
deploy them on time and according to a
cohesive cross-channel strategy.”
26. Step 12
“We measure what we value versus valuing
just what we currently measure and use
good data to feed all iterations as we
execute in real time.”
I’m Tony Quiroz, Strategy Lead with Ethology.
I’m here today to talk about Digital Marketing Agency Bloopers.
But before we get into the funny stories - the oops moments - let me direct your attention to the sub-title here.
People always remember us at our worst never our best. JoePa, Kobe vignette
Modern Search is merely “real time self directed problem solving on demand”
Client relationships.
Instead of me talking at you the rest of this talk I would like your agreement to work with me on a real-time example of how simple it is to put these steps into action.
please feel free to take notes on the skeleton handouts coming around that are excerpted for this exercise from the Experience Marketing Framework. At Ethology we believe that great customer experience begins with a purpose-focused strategy, powered by human centric tactics with data-fed iterations that measure what is valued over valuing what is measured.

Who are the customer personas we care about and what insights can we gain from them?
Where do we sit in the competitive set as it relates to market share growth, etc?
What insights can we gain from forces that are outside of our control and industry that can be an opportunity or risk to our existence or customer experience demands and expectations in the coming 1-3 years?

Do our business goals align to customer goals?
Have we audited our customer touch points and how we rank year of year and against our competitors to assess where the best opportunities for investment may be to achieve the optimal ROI within our scope of resources?
Have we prioritized and put together a plan to schedule that is within scope, attacks the highest value touchpoints and delivers against our business goals?
Does our entire company culture align under a clear and stated Purpose and do our current marketing and product release efforts align to the spirit of that purpose in our customer’s eyes?
If we were brutally honest and thought like a human being would we love interacting with our content, people, products, etc? Where are the gaps or opportunities to be more human while optimizing for scale? What habits can we cut investing time and energy into so that we can reinvest that time in being more human to our internal and external customers?
Do we value what we measure or measure what we value? What are the handful (priority) KPIs that drive 80% or more of our results?
We are marketers and we make promises everyday on behalf of brand and we must ensure that we inspire the company to align under one goal of making good on the promises we make. Thank you!
