by As much as we live in a connected world with the ubiquity of technology, we are also moving from mass marketing to hyper-personalisation to a segment of one. Today’s newly hyper-empowered, tech-augmented consumers are increasingly in control of the messages they receive as well as how they shop for their brands.
Recently we interviewed Evan Williams, Group Head of Research and Insights at Go-Jek who is going to speak at MRMW APAC 2019. His session will outline how data and technology are enabling (or not) marketers’ ability to identify and target different groups of consumers. He will also examine how segmentation really works and where marketers advance (or stumble) as the data environment changes. His hope is that this will improve how suppliers view clients’ needs and how clients view suppliers’ capabilities.
Evan feels that it is important for practitioners to understand how segmentation really works and where marketers are advancing (or stumbling) in regards to it as the data environment changes. His hope is that this will improve how suppliers view clients’ needs and how clients view suppliers’ capabilities.
For Evan, the MRMW APAC is one of the more forward-looking conferences around the region and he is always eager to learn and share about new ways marketers are evolving the MR industry. He also believes that there are a lot of entropy in the research industry today, as “our data access and technology are changing what insights even are, where they come from in an organisation, and who can do it. Certain firms will face existential questions in the next few years, others will thrive that we not even heard of yet.”
He also thinks that marketers need to take a look at where the needs for the Research industry will be – the growth industries. He also adds that, “the changing landscape of what industries will invest in Research over time will ultimately dictate what skills and capabilities are needed. So, if you are in a stagnant or declining industry, be acutely aware of the skills you will need to move in the future.” The MRMW APAC will be the perfect opportunity to come and hone your knowledge in the Research industry as well as hear latest updates from thought leaders of global brands.
