With the growing importance of mobile technology in the marketing automation industry, marketers and CMOs often face the need to build highly engaging mobile apps that deliver tailored, relevant content to their users. They would also need to confront the challenge of writing new code and waiting on app store approvals while iterating newer version of the mobile app. This week I examined Philadelphia-based mobile marketing company Artisan Mobile (useartisan.com) to learn about how it could help marketers overcome these challenges.
A common problem for marketers and CMOs at various brands is that they often spend much digital advertising dollars to acquire new customers ($121B in 2014 according to TechCrunch), yet serve up a static and irrelevant digital experience to these users. To attract new customers and engage existing ones, marketers need to provide a personalized experience to users and show them increasingly relevant information. I interviewed Boston-based Evergage (www.evergage.com) this week to learn about how they could help marketers deliver real-time web personalization.
Marketeers and CMOs at various brands and businesses often face the problem of finding effective tools to track and analyze their customer analytics. Doing so could enable them to derive significant insights from customer behavior to attract new customers and engage existing ones. They could also be looking for an analytics tool that's fully customizable to their needs and offers more privacy control over their data. One of the tools that provides such comprehensive capabilities is the website analytics company Piwik PRO (http://piwik.pro), which I examined this week to determine its market position.
