It’s been said that analytics are the lifeblood of digital marketing. But what happens when channels blur? In-store and online sales are increasingly intermixed.

Properly modeling the customer context is the key to driving purchasing behavior. Learn how consumer brands are changing their approach to customer analytics and context modeling by joining this lively discussion from Cantina on the challenges of extracting actionable information from data, and on evolving ways to model consumer behaviors.

The new era of marketing begins now

of marketing
begins now
Unleash the power of Watson Marketing
to deepen customer connections, grow
brand value and fuel strategic growth
2. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
When you’re the customer, you expect
companies to know you—to cater to
your likes, needs, wants and preferences
with every transaction and interaction.
Those expectations are made all the more
challenging in a digital marketplace where
trends transform industries and reshape
consumer demands virtually overnight.

3. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
REIMAGINE HOW CUSTOMERS CONNECT
WITH YOUR BRAND.
Customers grow closer to a brand through experiences that meet and
expand their expectations. Every experience counts. And marketers shoulder
the pressure of creating the kinds of experiences that build these valuable
brand relationships with thousands or even millions of customers at a time.
Marketing in the cognitive era is about using insight and technology in new
ways to elevate the entirety of the customer experience—creating singular
yet cohesive moments throughout the customer journey that are tailored
to each person’s needs, beyond any single product or service. It is about
building connections with customers that withstand the changing dynamics
and demands of your evolving marketplace. It is taking on new opportunities
to lead strategic growth for your organization.
2/3Nearly two-thirds of chief marketing
officers (CMOs) regard developing
deeper, richer customer experiences
as their top marketing priority.2
-03-
4. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
INFUSE DATA INTO YOUR
MARKETING DNA.
Changing the customer experience starts by changing your approach to data.
Marketers and business leaders know that customer insights are key to building
and maintaining brand value and profitable customer relationships. Consumers
now readily share a significant amount of information about themselves through
social media, online transactions and other interactions. Yet despite this, only a
fraction of marketers believe they have sufficient access to data. It’s a dichotomy
in which you and other marketers are thirsting for insight while drowning in a
vast ocean of data.
The sheer complexity of data and the tools used to make sense of it can make it
difficult for anyone other than IT and data specialists to derive needed customer
and marketplace insights. And in a marketplace where responsiveness and
relevancy are critical, those extra steps can weigh you down. Fragmented views
of customer data across organizations add to the problem. And the biggest
challenge is that some of the most revealing data about critical human insights
is in unstructured forms such as images, natural language and video—dark data
that’s out of reach for most organizations.
88%88 percent of all available data is
dark to most organizations.3
-04-
5. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
IN A COGNITIVE BUSINESS, DATA WORKS IN SERVICE
TO MARKETING—NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
In a cognitive business, insights are embedded into the marketing processes
you already use every day—insights that can inform more targeted, relevant
and effective marketing messages, vehicles and tactics.
Data of all types from practically all sources can be correlated and analyzed,
creating unique insights that drive recommendations. Teams can work
collaboratively using intuitive interfaces that make it easier to visualize and
craft the customer journey, learning from one another to scale expertise and
create and refine cohesive customer experiences.
In a cognitive business, marketing solutions understand, reason and learn,
serving up ever-smarter, contextual recommendations that help you create
and precisely tune the entire customer experience to enhance brand value,
deepen customer connections and fuel strategic growth.
60%60 percent of CMOs want to use data-driven
insights to shape their marketing campaigns
within the next three to five years, up from
40 percent today.4

The challenges and opportunities of
digital marketing have changed the role
of marketing professionals. Today, 63
percent of CEOs lean on CMOs to help
formulate their business strategy.5

marketers said strategic thinking

their jobs, and 68 percent believe
it is more necessary today than it

7. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
THE NEW MARKETING MINDSET
OUTTHINKS THE BRAND EXPERIENCE.
As a marketer and business leader, you help drive multiple
initiatives, charting courses for business growth and deeper
customer connections while identifying and pursuing
opportunities for innovation. In a cognitive business, you’re
empowered to deliver more value to your organization across
these opportunities. By infusing insights into your marketing
approach and expanding knowledge sharing and collaboration
across your marketing team and organization, you can enhance
your contributions as a strategic business builder, experience
architect and insight activist.
82%82 percent of CMOs report that
their goals are aligned to revenue
targets, and 41 percent say they
are aligned to profit targets as well.7

8. THE NEW ERA OF MARKETING
GROW BRAND VALUE
WITH CONFIDENCE
Marketer as business builder: I make decisions based
on data I trust, using insights to inform and prioritize my
initiatives and pursue the most promising pathways to
growth and profitability. I work with technology in new
ways to bring greater precision to my campaigns and
personalization to each customer interaction, helping
us stay ahead of competitors and ever-changing
customer expectations.
What’s possible in a cognitive business:
Discover unmet customer
needs to innovate products,
services and revenue streams
Drive conversion and profit
through tailored products,
services, value propositions,
offers and prices
Help maximize the lifetime value
of customers and partners by
optimizing investment across
relationships

view of the customer experience, weaving together
individual moments that together position our

content, channels and services continually, so
customers can connect with our brand and the

City of Melbourne
The capital of Victoria, Australia, and the financial center of the country, the City
of Melbourne wanted to use social media voluntarily shared by city residents and
visitors about its annual Melbourne Spring Fashion Week program to create better,

analytics technology to assess consumer sentiment from posts and conversations
on Twitter and Instagram. The solution, hosted on a cloud platform, uses mobile,
high-volume analytics and psycholinguistics technology to give event planners a
view of the social engagement during fashion week, so they can then use these
