At CXF, we’ll confront a new imperative: creating and nurturing a system of interdependent, self-reinforcing practices that align internal employees and external partners — and the processes, policies, and technology that enable them to do their jobs — around customers.

It requires a new way to manage companies, looking deep into every process and incentive to see whether it supports the overall goal: to deliver a great customer experience. Right up Universal Mind’s alley, we are happy to announce we’re a sponsor of this event. Join us there and tell us how we can help you focus on your customers.

In the age of the customer, the onus is on marketers to manage the range of rapidly growing access points that consumers use to discover, explore, buy, and engage with brands. By 2016, digital marketing will make up more than 30% of the total dollars spent on marketing and advertising in the US alone. And with digitization comes the disintegration of existing business models and competitive moats. The one true source of defensible advantage is customer obsession, powered by an unending stream of data on what they do, what they want, and how to serve them. Forrester’s Marketing Leadership and Customer Intelligence Forums 2012 will empower marketers to achieve competitive advantage in the age of the customer.
