there are more millennials than
any other generation on earth
From issues of brand safety, to growing cries of "fake
news," to a slew of personal data breaches across the
web, it's clear that trust in the digital industry has
eroded considerably, affecting every marketer at
brands, agencies, social platforms and beyond.

• Be clear about the data you are collecting
• Explain the Reason
• 91% of responders disagree that it is
fair for a company to collect my
information without my knowledge in
exchange for a discount
• 84% agree that “want to have control
over what marketers can learn about
me online.”
According to KJ Dearie, product specialist at Termly.io, "the biggest tool that companies
have at their disposal right now is transparency." It's not the fact that companies are
accessing customers' information – it's the fact that they don't know what exact
information they are collecting.
"Businesses can quell a great deal of uneasiness if they're simply up front with their
consumers about what information they collect and why," Dearie said. "The first step in
adopting a system of transparency is to craft a privacy policy and accompanying website
notifications and comprehensively outlines what data is collected and for what purpose it
is being used. Advertise this effort on your website for both your own legal protection,
and for your customers' peace of mind."
To be upfront with your customers, you can send a mass email that lets them know you're
refining and enhancing their experience with targeted marketing efforts, Dearie added.
This is a courtesy that will make consumers feel more comfortable and trusting.
In a controlled experiment, participants were more likely to click on personalised ads
when the brand disclosed its data policy to consumers.
The graph below shows that in the study, click-through intention online increased when
the brand was open ('overt') with its data gathering policies.

4) Personalise without personal details
Finally, another way attendees suggested that brands can use personalisation is to
provide a 'personalised' service without identifying a consumer personally.
Though it may seem like using less data would be less effective, avoiding the
creepiness factor altogether may produce the best results.
Pampers, the US diaper brand, recently A/B tested content for consumers on China's
ecommerce platform Tmall.
Existing customers saw discounts and exclusive deals, whereas new moms saw
content about brand reputation and its loyalty programme. The results were then
compared to consumers who saw the standard brand page instead of 'personalised'
content.
According to a report from L3, post-personalization conversion rate more than tripled
for consumers who saw the targeted content.
So...
Personalisation is certainly the next frontier for marketers to explore. Offering one-on-
one messaging and offers is a great way to grow awareness and increase conversions.
It comes at a cost, however. Brands who overdo personalisation risk being perceived
as creepy which puts customers off from engaging.
Through arriving at a careful balance of the potential of personalisation while avoiding
creepy tendencies, attendees agreed, marketers should be able to use personalisation
without damaging the brand.

A few months ago, I signed up to use Lumen5, a free online tool that turns blog
posts into videos. In about five minutes, I created a quick, fascinating teaser video
to attract readers to click through and consume one of my favorite first-person
stories.
The exercise was fun, but I don’t have any long-term strategy planned for the tool.
So I forgot about the resource.
A few days later an email showed up with the subject line “Made A Video For You.”
Lumen5’s artificial intelligence application had taken the liberty of creating another
video similar to the one I had crafted. I was weirded out.
But then, I watched the video. It was pretty neat, and I warmed up to the time-
saving gift.
Lesson learned: This brand creeped me out until I realized the value of the gift they
were offering. They took information I did not expect to be used (the RSS feed of
the URL I’d supplied for my original project) and exploited it . . . to my benefit.
Hopefully, the story shows exactly where someone crossed the line, and the
relationship survived.
