Understanding the Basics

Before we delve into the details, let's begin with some essential definitions. ROI is a term often used in Marketing to measure the success of campaigns. Controlling costs is vital in this process, and that's where AI comes into play.

"Radio RFM"

In our previous episode, we emphasised the importance of identifying your most profitable clients. RFM, which stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary Value, is one way to do so. With AI, RFM Analysis has become faster and more efficient than ever.

Long-term Relationships

Another crucial element in maximizing ROI is cultivating long-term relationships with your best customers. As we often say in the agency, "Profitability comes from People." The more you understand your customers, including their life cycles, the more effective and relevant your Marketing efforts will be. This not only saves costs by avoiding unnecessary investments but also helps in delighting your customers and turning your brand into a profitable Lovemark.

The Customer-Centric Approach

As we mentioned, AI plays a pivotal role in creating a customer-centric Marketing strategy. By putting the customer at the center of your Marketing efforts, you can achieve Smart ROI. It's all about understanding and serving people's needs. Keeping in mind LTV (their Lifetime Value) and the changing life cycles they go through, which create different needs and aspirations.

Thank you for watching Video 02.  We hope it helps you create truly personalised & profitable Intelligent Marketing.
And remember: Episode 3 on Geomarketing drops Wednesday, November 15th!

As we say in BV,
"Profitability comes from People".

The more you know
your best customers,
the more relevant & effective
you'll be.

Cutting costs
by not investing in the wrong media
or launching flawed content.

Preparing for the AI Revolution

  with RFM being just one of them.
  
  
• Visualise your findings using Infographics.
  
  
• Train and integrate your generative AI with your database.
  
  

McKinsey's Insights

To put things into perspective, McKinsey published a report in May that highlighted the adoption of AI strategies in companies. According to the report, three key factors are critical for success:

1. A clearly-defined AI vision and strategy.
   
   
2. An investment of more than 20% in AI Technology.
   
   
3. Teams of data scientists to optimise algorithms.
   
   

Real-World Examples

Several startups are already harnessing the power of AI for Marketing optimisation. Names like Browse.ai, Copy.ai, Beautiful.ai, and Synthesia.io are leading the way. In the BV Story Studio, we regularly use Feeder's Predictive AI to pre-test videos, helping us locate and correct any issues before launch.

Moreover, platforms like Synthetic Users offer valuable insights into customer behaviour, allowing you to speak your customers' language and make informed Media buying decisions.

Integrated Marketing Technology platforms like Marigold's Selligent Cortex centralise Omnichannel customer data in the CRM. Cortex's Machine Learning capabilities recommend Smart Audiences, Smart Offers, and even Smart Subjects for Email Marketing, enhancing your overall Mmarketing strategy.
