Customer Journey
Adamson's Customer Experience Insight
Your customers are on a journey with your brand. We provide the road map.
With more access to information, more sensitivity to price and less reliance upon advertising, customers are getting harder to win and keep. Consider today's realities:
- Widespread parity in the quality of products and services
- Positioning and messaging are strikingly similar among competitive brands
- Seemingly infinite number of media through which messages are pushed
- Fragmentation of competition
Marketers must look beyond traditional marketing methods to achieve success and focus on differentiating by developing a memorable brand experience.
At Adamson, we define brand experience as everything that happens from the time a prospect first has a need for a brand to the point they become loyal customers. This might be as varied as a television commercial, a visit to your website or a conversation with a customer service representative. Managing these collective experiences help differentiate a brand and create loyal advocates.
To help brands excel in this new reality, Adamson has developed a proprietary process called the Customer Journey™. It is focused on three principles: Obsess about customer needs; reinforce the brand with every interaction; and treat customer experience as a competence, not a function.
The process consists of five phases:
Customer definition:
Who are our best customers/prospects?
Experience mapping:
What is their current experience?
Moment of Truth:
Which touchpoints most impact success?
Ideation:
How do we capitalize on those Moments of Truth?
Experience monitor:
Are we delivering an impactful experience?
Every medium, channel and format has distinctive strengths and weaknesses. The Customer Journey helps you navigate these diverse options to provide a detailed guide to delivering a unified brand message and experience. Ultimately, its goal is to convert casual participants into profitable true believers.
