The Loyalty Leap: Turning Customer Information Into Customer Intimacy

The complex sea of consumer marketing is presenting unprecedented challenges for today's organizations. Several powerful forces in market conditions, from the fragmentation of the media to privacy concerns, are converging to alter the environment in which we compete, and only the most innovative and creative organizations will stay afloat. How will today's tools guide us to a prosperous future? The answers lay not so much in the existence of consumer data, but in the practices used to responsibly collect it and put it to work.

Drawing on 20 years of firsthand experience and research, Bryan will share his secrets to building customer intimacy in an information age while also navigating the minefields of privacy.
