Customers Don't Give a S@&# About Data

July 27 2016

oi data dgaf

Next week at Inman, I get to give a talk about the power of data in consumer engagement. Paradoxically, it's called: "Customers Don't Give a S@*# About Data."

And it's true. They don't.

There are several things happening simultaneously in the lives of consumers today compared to ten years ago. The first is that they are bombarded with messaging, content, chatter, clutter, and noise.

No kidding.

The second is that their ability to discover content is like no other time in history. Consumers dictate, to a certain extent, the volume, pace, and selection of content they choose to engage in.

Gone are the days of three TV channels where we had to wait through commercials to get to the 18 minutes of Seinfeld or Friends. Now we start and stop content when it's convenient for us. We fast forward through time outs in sports, we stream movies at 2AM, and we prefer to watch the best five minutes of the Tonight Show on YouTube over breakfast rather than sit through the entire show at night.
