It argues how Creative Experience is an evolution of Customer Experience – using creativity to create distinct and connected experiences that create a place for brands to live in people’s lives. The report outlines the three imperatives for superior CX – ‘a customer-centred business strategy’, an ‘innovative use of technology’, and ‘data analytics to personalise products and services’, with the marketers who do not embrace these capabilities being left at risk of being left behind.
Jean Lin Isobar Global CEO said “This survey is a must-read for any marketer aspiring to deliver next-level customer experiences. It defines Creative Experience – how the intersection of data, creativity & technology will lead the future transformation of businesses and brands through experience”
