Recently we talked about the NPS-relevant study that shows how detractors (evidenced by the fact they leave as customers) influence those close in their social network to also defect.

26th July 2010
In our NPS self-improvement efforts we read a lot of literature on the intersection of social networks and marketing and especially we take note of studies that use data from mobile telephone operators. Why?
Because you can objectively determine who is in an "actor's" (customer) network and the relative strength of ties between customers. You can see who they call, how often and for how long.
The real challenge in listening to your customers
19th January 2010
The great challenge for contemporary marketing is summed up very nicely in Rethinking Marketing (Harvard Business Review, Jan 2010):
'Never before have companies had such powerful technologies for interacting directly with customers, collecting and mining information about them and tailoring their offerings accordingly.
And never before have customers expected to interact so deeply with companies, and each other, to shape the products and services they use.'

We are devout believers in the data driven market credo; 'why guess when you can know?' This means we keep a weather eye open for case studies and research that will move the decisions we make with our clients from the gut to the head (with or without blinking ;-).
Because that is where the money is.

The American gangster Willie Sutton when asked why he robbed banks answered; "Because that's where the money is."
The Churchill Dilemma & Balanced Loyalty Programs
5th May 2008
I was talking with Wayne - a old fashioned advertising man who has reinvented his thinking after having a 1:1 marketing epiphany some years back - about where classic 'branding' fits with the whole concept of marketing as a conversation. (He was the one who put me on to "The New Brand World" and persuaded me to re-read "The Cluetrain Manifesto").
In short, Wayne has convinced me that a company's brand is the sum total of the experiences they provide to their customers. Loyalty programs included - especially.
"The play went marvellously well. The audience was a complete failure"*

"The 20th century was about sorting out supply... The 21st is going to be about sorting out demand."
