No industry has weathered change in recent years as much as retail, eCommerce and consumer goods. Machine learning can be used to assist the digital transformation of your customer journey to accurately segment customers and target them with personalized and relevant messages and offers.
Social media, in particular, is a treasure trove of customer insight, both at the individual level — where brand advocates and detractors can be addressed one-on-one — and as a resource to understand broader sentiment towards brands and products.
