Michael Roth (USA) Worldwide subject matter expert for IBM Customer Analytics on Cloud Solutions

B2C 2015: The key in leveraging data to put the customer at the center of your brand”

Before the internet, the effort to achieve the brand reputation of a McDonald’s or an IBM took millions of dollars and years of painstaking effort to deliver campaign after campaign to drive brand awareness and consideration.
Now, every minute of the day, more than 3 billion people throughout the world send 204 million emails, share more than 2.4 million pieces of content on Facebook, post 277,000 tweets, upload 72 hours of new video to YouTube, and download 48,000 apps from the Apple Store. Not only are users interacting with each other, they’re interacting with companies, providing a steady stream of important information that often goes unheard, or worse, ignored. The inability to absorb, understand and respond to this data has created openings in the marketplace for new brands who have the ability to exploit all of this data to explode upon the marketplace.
With the right campaign, companies can leapfrog their competitors and significantly cut the amount of time and money needed to achieve brand parity. Through advanced filtering of the data, featuring the points that matter most, and then focusing campaigns which put the customer in the center, new companies are now able to win the hearts (and dollars) of customers who in the past proudly proclaimed their loyalty to the leading brands in that market category.
During his presentation, Mike will delve into the details of how to get the most value out of data, on how to segment, micro-segment and re-segment to capitalize on B2C and obtain the highest impact for your product, service or message. •

BIO: Michael leads worldwide sales for IBM Customer Analytics on Cloud, the digital behavior engine that infuses IBM’s Customer Experience Suite with qualitative and quantitative information so online experiences are more personalized, innovative and intuitive. As brand leader for IBM Customer Analytics on Cloud solutions, he has worked with some of the most well-known global brands in ecommerce, travel, financial services and telecommunications to design systems and processes that use online and offline data to maximize the lifetime profitability of each B2B/B2C relationship.

Previously, Michael was practice director at the CEB Marketing Leadership Council guiding B2B and B2C companies to drive marketing excellence in their organizations. He is also a former member of the Unisys Telecommunications practice, having led revenue modernization projects at Sprint and Verizon that focused on mining customer data to increase revenue, decrease subscriber churn and reduce operational costs through adoption of Online Self Care portals. .
