The best thing you can do for someone is to create a moment of joy. But as a marketer in the digital age, that can be hard now that people’s relationship with brands has fundamentally changed. Many brands struggle with disjointed communication across multiple channels, generic batch and blast messages that are out of sync with customers' behaviors and preferences, and expensive data stacks that they cannot put into action. What hasn't changed is the key to customer engagement: creating an emotional connection through joyful experiences. Iterable is a customer activation platform that helps brands deliver those experiences with harmonized, individualized, and dynamic communications. It's the only platform that can close the gap between data and interaction channels so brands can deliver joyful experiences at scale, in record time, and with incredible efficiency. Visit Iterable.com to learn more.
