The path to 2020: Marketers seize the customer experience is based on a global survey of 499 CMOs and senior marketing executives, plus in-depth interviews with leading CMOs. The research explores which technologies and customer trends are likely to change marketing organisations the most over the next five years.
The EIU has developed a framework—“The layers of engagement"—that classifies the elements that contribute to a personalised customer experience, and how it creates value for a customer and for a marketing organisation.
