Deployment Issues Automobile Recall• scalability human monitoring and response is expensive• content generation user-generated, repurposed press materials• shelf-life short-term project; usually want community• data integration use standard systems; low priority• knowledge transfer use in-house staff from start
Learning Issues• consistent reporting ad hoc project• insights segment results, use of different content & media• adequate budget for routine testing• formal optimization best for stable situations• portfolio approach balance risk/reward, channel mix, long-term strategy
31
Lessons Learned
• analytical environment combines business model, testing and technology platform– platform is the foundation– business model is the framework– testing fills in the details
• all are needed to optimize customer experience
32
Lessons Learned
• structured testing process – match projects to applications and resources– careful test design: goals, metrics, evaluation– use outside resources as necessary
33
Lessons Learned
• social media is difficult, but not impossible– many different kinds of social media; must
pick carefully– measurement and data integration are
especially challenging– structured testing is still the key
34
What Now?
• Don’t Panic– new media are a fraction of total spend– everybody else is learning too
• Make a Plan– assess platform, business model, and test capabilities– set long-term objectives
• Execute– short-term tests for immediate results– long-term changes to build infrastructure
