Tag: Omnichannel journey mapping

Singapore – In an always-on and digital-first world, marketers are always on the lookout for solutions that will give their customers only the best experience. But with the intense competition in the easily accessible digital sphere as well as the numerous solutions made available for brands to leverage, how will companies be able to identify the correct path that will ensure a seamless experience across all the touchpoints of their omnichannel journey map?

This May 25, MARKETECH APAC comes back with another discussion under its webinar series on customer experience ‘Connecting the CX Dots in 2023’ with the aim of helping brands and marketers alike carefully carry out an efficient and future-proof omnichannel journey mapping. The session follows the previously conducted webinar ‘Conversational Marketing: Connecting the CX Dots in 2023’, which tackled the challenges and opportunities marketers face in their conversational marketing efforts.

Titled ‘Omnichannel Journey Mapping: Connecting the CX Dots in 2023’, the webinar will feature a panel discussion with marketing leaders across the Southeast Asian region. In it, Iris Lee, regional brand director at CARSOME, Bea Atienza, impactful brand experience lead at Colgate-Palmolive, Nancy Almasco, marketing director at FlowerStore.ph, and Neha Bhasin, director of brand communications at ZALORA Group will share their insights on omnichannel journey mapping.

The panel discussion, called ‘Solving the Omnichannel Conundrum: Creating a Seamless Customer Journey in an Always-On Digital Sphere’, will also tackle the following topics:

  • Linear is dead: Making sense of a customer journey that can start from anywhere — and lead to any channel
  • Alleviating friction: Meeting where the customers are in an always-on and digital-first buying journey
  • Bridging the silos: Integrating consumer data off different channels in the omnichannel structure 
  • Adapting the engagement: Operationalising the omnichannel path for brands’ different use cases

Marketers often look to identify and reduce points of friction in the customer journey, but they might not always know where to start. To give marketers some know-hows, the webinar will also feature a keynote presentation by Merlvin Tan, team lead – APAC sales at MessageBird, who will be discussing how to better understand what omnichannel should mean to brands and marketers, what tools and resources to use, and how to bring it all together for a seamless omnichannel journey.

“We’re now in the 2nd leg of our webinar series, Connecting the CX Dots in 2023, and the conversation is only about to get much better! First theme was all about conversational marketing, and come this May, we’re going a more expansive route to talk about the Omnichannel Journey Mapping,” said Shaina Teope, regional editor at MARKETECH APAC.

Teope added, “We’ve gathered different marketing leaders from top brands to help shed light on mapping our customer journey at a time when customers are active on a multitude of channels. Rest assured that after this discussion, brands will have gained a clearer path on their omnichannel marketing strategies.”

‘Omnichannel Journey Mapping: Connecting the CX Dots in 2023’, the second leg of MARKETECH APAC’s webinar series on customer experience, is made in partnership with omnichannel communications platform MessageBird. It will be followed by the webinar on programmable email, the last theme of the series, to be held on June 21 this year.

Singapore – We live in an always-on era and digital tech is at the forefront of this phenomenon. From commerce to payments, healthcare, education, food, logistics and travel, digital tech is at the centre of making this transformation real. 

Buyer journeys have grown to become fluid, where consumers have control of their actions and expect brands to facilitate that control – consumers’ preferred channel, location, and time. 

This makes the path-to-purchase, needless to say, no longer homogenous, but something that’s personal to the consumer — therefore immensely unpredictable. Consumers simply ‘go’ where they feel like going, but as marketers, it is our job to make sense of the pathway.

Enter ‘Connecting the CX Dots in 2023’, a webinar series through a partnership of MARKETECH APAC and omnichannel communications platform MessageBird. In this three-part dialogue, we aim to discuss the inevitable challenges that come with the convenience of digital to orchestrate a customer experience that consistently delivers customer delight.

As an industry connector for the marketing community in APAC, MARKETECH APAC is staying true to its mission of enriching marketers in the region with the tools and resources essential to succeed in the business of marketing. Customer experience has tremendously shape-shifted with the continuously emerging innovations in the landscape, and with this, we aren’t wasting a sec to discuss what is now and happening. 

“Connecting the CX Dots in 2023 Webinar Series will be addressing three of the most important areas in customer experience and focus on the unique challenges and opportunities for marketers in Southeast Asia. We encourage the marketing community to make the most of this opportunity, by actively participating on the community platform,” said Danielle Ong, head of sales for East and Southeast Asia at MessageBird.

In April, we are going to kick off the series with a discussion on conversational marketing. When we think of such, chatbots are the first thing that comes to mind, but with this dedicated webinar, we are going to expound the conversation and bring a holistic view of the marketing strategy that is putting a premium on real-time two-way interaction between brands and consumers. 

Come the month of May, we’ll be shifting the spotlight to the overarching discussion on omnichannel journey mapping. Modern and contemporary CX is multifaceted and such dynamic breeds an equal multitude of operational points that is yearning to be optimised and addressed. Through this, we can check our current roadmaps against what has worked and hasn’t been working for others.

Ultimately, in June, we are going to culminate the series by mounting a discussion on the classic communication channel, that is email. We are going to see for ourselves how programmable emails have changed the game. On the receiving end of such tech, how can we ultimately adapt to and leverage its features to make consumers pay attention to us through their inboxes? In this conversation, we seek to provide answers.

Commented Joven Barceñas, CEO and founder of MARKETECH APAC, “We are thrilled to be collaborating with MessageBird on this one-of-a-kind opportunity to bring together CX leaders from Asia as speakers for our three-part webinar series. By providing a platform for learning from industry experts, we hope to address the need for marketers to deliver a seamless and personalised customer experience. Join us for one of our upcoming webinars and be a part of the conversation that is shaping the future of customer experience.”
