Better Managing today's customer journey

With the success of our 2018 Innovation Series in New York, we welcomed our very first Los Angeles Techfluence event in June, “Relationship Marketing – Better Managing Today’s Customer Journey.” The panel, made up of experts from ShoeDazzle, Lime Crime, Optimove, and 7 For All Mankind, and moderated by the CEO and Founder of Trendseeder, focused on the customer journey, personalization, and staying true to your brand through it all. The conversation primarily centered on what’s changed over the years, but one thing all panelists could agree on is that what hasn’t changed is the need for brands to develop an emotional connection with the consumer.
