11 November: Xtraordinary Women Coastal Network Event Listing



TOPIC: Staying Relevant and Connected with Today's Digitally Enabled Consumer


Entrepreneurs and Brands that want to successfully keep up with today's digitally enabled consumer must consider investing in an always-on multi-channel strategy, which ensures that they are able to exchange information and services 24 hours a day. 

Today's highly connected customer uses multiple devices across multiple channels in any given day and is demanding access to brands and services whenever they choose, and on the channel of their choice. This is creating a range of challenges for traditional marketers and agencies, who needs to be able to deliver relevant messaging to a consumer, at the right time and on the right device, as well as for any brand or entrepreneur who needs to truly feel that they have a consistent connection with their target audience.


“A successful connection to today's consumer may demand a relook at how you portray your business in your marketing plan or strategy – especially if you want to take the growing digitally enabled consumer relationship seriously. And, at the heart of this process, is understanding how the consumer's lifestyle is driving his or her demand for interactivity, commerce, and personalisation 24 hours a day." ~ Pete Case, Founder and CEO of Gloo
