Personalize at scale

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all marketing. It's time to leverage data to serve up content as unique as your audience's fingerprints.

Spotify is a great example of leveraging data to personalize content. By analyzing listening habits, they create personalized playlists like “Discover Weekly” and “Daily Mixes” for each user, which are key to their high user engagement and loyal customer base.

Strategies:

  • Segment your audience based on behavior, preferences, and demographics— tracking tools like Google Analytics and CRM systems can help manage this.

  • Use AI-powered personalization tools that integrate with your existing marketing stack to adjust content for each user dynamically

  • Create adaptive content journeys that evolve with user interactions by developing content libraries with variations suited to different segments, decision trees for user journeys, and dynamic content blocks that change based on user data

Predictive analytics tools can help you forecast content trends to stay ahead of the marketing curve.

First, gather historical data on content performance, including engagement metrics, conversion rates, and audience demographics. Using this, you’ll spot recurring patterns in content interest throughout the year, which can help you plan for future seasons.

Schedule content topics and formats to align with predicted interest spikes, while still building flexibility into your calendar to capitalize on unexpected trends.

While continuously tracking the performance of your predictive content strategy, refine your approach to improve accuracy over time.

Netflix is great at predictive analytics— they analyze vast amounts of viewer data, including viewing habits, ratings, and even the time of day users watch content. By applying predictive analytics to this historical data, Netflix can forecast which types of content will likely resonate with their audience in the future.

For example, Netflix used predictive analytics to inform its decision to produce "House of Cards," its first original series. By analyzing viewer data, Netflix predicted that:

  1. There was a significant audience for political dramas

  2. Viewers who enjoyed the original British version of "House of Cards" also liked films starring Kevin Spacey

  3. David Fincher's directorial work had a strong following among Netflix subscribers

Based on these insights, Netflix committed to producing two seasons of "House of Cards" without even seeing a pilot, a decision that proved highly successful.

As a marketer, you have to not only predict what’s coming next, but also be ready to adjust when unexpected challenges strike.

Oreo demonstrated the power of real-time content optimization during the 2013 Super Bowl.

When an unexpected power outage occurred during Super Bowl XLVII, Oreo's marketing team sprang into action. Within minutes, they crafted and shared a simple yet clever tweet: "Power out? No problem. You can still dunk in the dark."

This real-time content optimization strategy proved highly successful:

  1. The tweet garnered nearly 15,000 retweets and 20,000 likes on Twitter within hours.

  2. It generated significant media coverage, overshadowing many expensive TV ads.

  3. The brand saw a substantial increase in social media followers and engagement.

Key takeaways from Oreo's success:

  1. Real-time monitoring: The team was actively watching the event and social media trends.

  2. Quick decision-making: They had a "war room" set up with key decision-makers present.

  3. Prepared assets: Pre-approved templates and brand guidelines allowed for rapid content creation.

  4. Relevance: The content was directly tied to a major current event.

  5. Humor and simplicity: The message was clever and easy to understand.
