We surveyed 8,000 consumers in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US to find out their answers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 16\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Our research focused on three areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What are consumers\u2019 experiences with digital advertising?<\/li>\n<li>What are the drivers of consumers\u2019 online purchases?<\/li>\n<li>What are the most effective data-driven marketing efforts and challenges?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1>A big opportunity<\/h1>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 16\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Many consumers feel the automated techniques brands are using to serve them are not effective. The algorithmic recommendations brands make to them, based on their demographics and past behaviors and purchases, don\u2019t accurately reflect their intention.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that there is a big opportunity for brands to take a more mindful approach to data collection and to design a holistic customer experience while doing so.<\/p>\n<p>Brands that treat data collection and data strategy as part of the consumer experience can benefit from greater consumer willingness to share information. Providing consumers with value for their data, ensuring that the brand won\u2019t lose or abuse their data, and recognizing consumers in a way that puts them at ease is all part of a better experience.<\/p>\n<h1>Data gathering, within reason<\/h1>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 16\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Consumers increasingly expect brands\u2019 digital advertising to show they are known and recognized, as long as there is transparency around what the brands are doing with their data. We found that 87% of consumers said it\u2019s important to purchase from a brand or retailer that \u201cunderstands the real me.\u201d However, consumers don\u2019t want brands to go too far and violate their privacy. They have preferences for how they want brands to interact with them digitally, and those preferences may vary with demographic factors, such as age and gender.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 16\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li>73% of consumers are willing to share more personal information if brands are transparent about how it is used, up from 66% in 2018.<\/li>\n<li>76% of consumers say they are uncomfortable with data collection via microphone or voice assistant.<\/li>\n<li>30% of consumers said a brand had gotten \u201ctoo personal\u201d\u2014and 69% of these consumers would stop doing business with a brand or reconsider their relationship to the brand because of this.<\/li>\n<li>51% among consumers who left a retailer\/branded website because of poor personalization think invasive ads are on the rise.<\/li>\n<li>93% of consumers agree it\u2019s important that every interaction they have with a brand is excellent, whenever or wherever they happen in the decision to purchase from a brand or retailer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>What consumers want<\/h1>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 17\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>What many consumers ultimately want is for digital advertising to have the same social intelligence as a familiar salesperson in their favorite store\u2014one who can tell from the expression on their face that they\u2019re in the mood to splurge, or that they\u2019re in a hurry because it\u2019s a Tuesday night and they need to get home to dinner. The brands that approximate that human touch best (using automation) will stand out and win consumer loyalty. Brands that can\u2019t pull it off will feel sterile.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 17\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>So how can brands hit the mark? Effective strategies include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full transparency.<\/li>\n<li>Smart use of walled gardens<\/li>\n<li>Create a cohesive experience<\/li>\n<li>Behave like a human<\/li>\n<li>Correctly attribute digital ad results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 17\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Brands also need to pay close attention to the evolution of privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as they make advertising decisions. What should and shouldn\u2019t be done in the current environment will be shaped by how rights granted under these two laws are interpreted. Regulators are starting to impose substantial fines as they enforce GDPR.<\/p>\n<p>Brands must build the data architecture of enterprise systems in a way that reflects current regulations. Ultimately, brands must be respectful of the rights of consumers to get access to their data, be \u201cforgotten,\u201d or request portability. This must be baked into their technology.<\/p>\n<h1>The seamless experience<\/h1>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 17\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Consumers want to be treated holistically and see the entire experience improve. As a result, brands need to focus on consumers\u2019 experience at every interaction in the customer journey, from websites and mobile apps to physical stores. The data brands gather and how they use it will curate customers\u2019 experiences. At the same time, opting out of collecting or licensing data should not have to be part of the consumer experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 17\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>To create a seamless experience, brands can benefit from:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using fresh opt-in alternatives.<\/li>\n<li>Bringing ad-tech contracts in-house for full transparency.<\/li>\n<li>Building data architecture aligned with regulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brands should also make sure the approaches they use extend throughout their advertising efforts. Consumers expect companies to take note of all of the information about themselves that they\u2019ve chosen to share, no matter where that takes place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/_acnmedia\/PDF-110\/Accenture-See-People-Not-Patterns.pdf#zoom=50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full report from Accenture here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading brands are using data to humanize their customer relationship  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":24988,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[392,1117,99,1385,3266,2019],"class_list":["post-24887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation-business","tag-accenture","tag-brands","tag-ceo","tag-ceo-northam","tag-customer-relationship","tag-print-issue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24887"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24889,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24887\/revisions\/24889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
