Technology is changing at lightning pace and, for Digital Marketers, the change is so rapid, that it’s hard to keep up. With change comes new business requirements and opportunities but also challenges. Marketers need to create more content to assuage the exponential consumer thirst for customised experiences on all channels, but continued economic turbulence means that budgets and team sizes remain the same or, at worst, are shrinking. There is no magic equation for producing more for less, but The Experience Makers can offer practical advice.
In this month’s episode, our host Gemma Milne is joined by Acquia’s VP for Corporate Marketing, Tom Bianchi to explore how organisations can keep their digital experiences in order and continue to grow their customer base, even when the world is a little chaotic.

Today consumers shop everywhere. At home, at their desks, on the move. And they shop across channels, from marketplaces to social media to brand websites. However, despite the lockdowns over the past two years, customers still love to shop in-store. This represents a challenge for brands desperately trying to build a single view of their customers to serve them with relevant communication better and personalise their experiences. Whilst building a picture of how customers behave online is getting easier, transferring that knowledge to the shop floor has been virtually impossible.
In this episode of The Experience Makers, we’re joined by Oto’s Executive Director, Guil Bohnen, alongside VP of Marketing Cloud, at Wunderman Thompson’s Pmweb, Grazi Sbardelotto, to discuss some of the challenges and considerations organisations are facing when it comes to shopping both online and in-store.

The Metaverse is where our digital and physical lives converge. It takes our current digital lives to a new virtual level where people, brands and businesses can exist alongside their real lives - socialising, gaming, creating, trading and owning anything from real estate, to art, to clothing. According to Daniel Miller, professor of anthropology at UCL, “The smartphone is no longer just a device that we use, it’s become the place where we live”. This has huge implications for brands and advertising as new Metaverse markets emerge. Join the Experience Makers as we dive into the Metaverse with Emma Chiu, Global Director of Wunderman Thompson Intelligence and Prism Wunderman Thompson’s Head of Gaming and Esports, Grant Paterson.

Data is one of the most valuable assets a business can have & has a huge impact on its potential to grow – informing decisions, shaping product development and driving customer experience. In order to collect sufficient data, brands have relied for years on cookies created by third-party technology companies.
However, what started as a convenient way for brands to get to know their customers and serve them relevant content online has led to data scandals, growing concern from regulators and distrust from consumers. As a result, Google is phasing out third-party Cookies, retiring them completely by the end of 2022, meaning brands will no longer have access to much of the data that they have used to curate personalised customer journeys.
This is an opportunity for brands to adapt to new ways of using data with integrity and show consumers that they are on their side. Wunderman Thompson Data’s Head of Business Consulting, Olivia Hawkins, Wavemaker's Head of Precision, Tarik Windle and Carsten Hyldahl, Director of AI & Identity at Wunderman Thompson MAP, share their thoughts on this opportunity with our host, Gemma Milne. They’ll discuss what ‘data with integrity’ means and explore how technology can help brands offer more tailored experiences in the future.

With an estimated population of 1.85 billion, people with disabilities (PWD) constitute an emerging market the size of China plus the European Union. Their Friends and Family add another 3.4 billion potential consumers who act on their emotional connection to PWD. Together, they control over $13 trillion in annual disposable income (RoD Group). These statistics show that inclusion and accessibility aren’t just questions of legal requirement and box-ticking, they should be part of your growth strategy.
As more and more brands commit to making sure that their digital experiences are representative of and accessible to all, The Experience Makers talks to Wunderman Thompson’s Head of Inclusive Design and Accessibility, Christina Mallon about the challenges that they face. She’s joined by two technologists who are leading the way in designing AI-powered tools to help organisations navigate the complexities of accessibility compliance - WT Technology’s Mateusz Chrominski and WPP AI guru, Perry Nightingale.
