June 23, 2016

You don’t need to be a business strategist to realise that digital technology is radically changing the behaviour and expectations of consumers.

To stay competitive, companies must stop experimenting with digital and commit to transforming themselves into full digital businesses.

The world is experiencing rapid change particularly in the area of digital. Marketers are forging a path with creative, original and innovative ideas. As such, businesses are starting to perceive the potential of digital for engaging customers externally, but also for streamlining internal processes.

What are the benefits of adopting digital ways of working?

  1. A better customer experience

32,000 retail bank customers globally found that key to winning, growing and retaining customers in an increasingly competitive banking environment was a great customer experience. (EY Survey)

A positive customer experience starts with every internal team within your business understanding their role in delivering that experience. Put in place processes and tools to educate staff about your organisation’s most valuable marketing asset – your unique brand promise, enabling them to deliver a consistent and positive brand experience through your entire customer journey.

  1. An enhanced brand reputation

Today, 81% of executives are placing the highest priority in actively managing their bank’s brand or reputation compared with 68% in 2011. (Accenture)

Silicon Valley Bank, Ally Financial and Aon are some of the financial institutions who use brand management software to align and educate their internal teams about what their brand stands for. Their people understand how to communicate externally in a consistent voice, thereby building a great brand experience for their customers and prospects on and off-line.

There are many marketing automation and brand management platforms available to help control the content you are placing in these digital channels. The key is to centralise and manage all your marketing content in one cloud-based platform, and to automate sharing via permissions and passwords in order to achieve consistent messaging and a strong brand.
