Good morning, Marketers, and do you consider the impact of your marketing experience on consumers?
I don’t think this is a major revelation, but your customers realize that they are being marketed to. So brands should be sensitive not only to the value that campaigns drive, but also the overall impression of the marketing experience on consumers.
Fortunately, Nina Butler spoke directly to this need at The MarTech Conference.
The growing demand for first-rate marketing experiences is in part generational. Several years ago, I spoke with a tech company about hiring the best young talent. The company had to make sure their internal stack had the best applications because Gen Z digital natives expected best-in-class UX like Instagram, or other favorite apps. They wanted to work for companies that demonstrated the same high standards for digital workflow.
But people of all ages have flocked to digital channels over the last two years of pandemic, raising the bar even higher for marketing strategies that provide seamless experiences. Consumers want to be reassured that brands know how to communicate.
