Customer Data Platform - Automotive

Get to know your customers

Brands want to create superior experiences for their users. This means collecting data across various systems to create 360 degree profiles of their customers and consistently deliver the best products. This can include transactional, behavioural and even third party data.

In the automotive world, as infotainment systems become more common in consumer cars, car manufacturers also need to be able to collect this data and use it to understand their customers better. This data can then be fed into a Customer Data Platform (CDP) to later guide personalised content and product strategies.

Boost Black Friday Sales with WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook

Black Friday stands out as one of the most anticipated shopping events of the year, with half (51%) of UK adults planning to spend during the Black Friday weekend, higher than the 39% planning to spend in 2022. With this, big and small businesses will strive for maximum exposure. Yet, this task is far from straightforward. Retailers must compete to be visible, overcome high advertising costs, and meet escalating customer expectations to cut through the noise and drive conversion.
