Lindsay Murray of Blue Acorn iCi joins the show to make real time more real than it’s ever been.

“Real-time marketing is relevant to a particular consumer and personalized vs. just a mass real-time update or campaign being jumped on. This is going to be tailored to specific customers, their journeys, and what they’re engaging with.”

3 Key Takeaways

The only thing that really matters is driving real value! Find the right balance between delivering strategic, creative experiences to the human at the other end of the interaction and all the tech, data, and optimization that works to help us make it all happen.
Tools and tech can become overwhelming quickly! So, as you approach real-time marketing, don’t jump into everything at once. Focus on a couple key areas and make sure messaging is consistent and on brand across all channels.
Data is and will always be foundational to marketers. But in the future, be prepared to enable and encourage your customers to help generate your marketing. Think unboxing, tutorials, reviews, and user-generated content.

Don’t be afraid of data — using it to do triggered, real-time marketing. It doesn’t always require an excess of resources or money to drive real-time marketing tactics.
