Rethink your competition. Reimagine your customer journeys.
Research from Adobe and Concentrix suggests the average consumer receives 139 messages from brands per week across multiple channels — and they are ignoring around 48% of them. Perhaps your competitors are not always the biggest obstacle to success. It’s likely that the businesses are not just selling the same products or services as you but also vying for a share of your audience’s finite attention. It’s never been more crucial to put your customer front and center in your marketing.
With the latest customer engagement technology, brands are creating hyper-relevant experiences that are personalized down to the level of the individual customer. This makes it possible to engage the right person at the right time, with the right message on the right channel. To reinvigorate customer engagement and drive marketing ROI, now is the time to shift from a one-size-fits-all mindset to designing personalized customer journeys fueled by real-time context.
“Personalization isn’t new. What’s new is our approach to achieving one-to-one personalization at scale across multiple channels. With immediate insights into what customers shop for, we can deliver tailored offers, personalized digital and app experiences, and highly relevant communications. These perfectly timed experiences foster profitable growth, brand love, and loyalty.”
Bennett Fox-Glassman, Senior Vice President of Customer Journeys

Your customers are unique. But your orchestration challenges are not.
Connected buyer journeys need connected teams.
To echo Conway’s Law, connected customer journeys are born from connected teams. Yet as companies grow, so do team silos with disparate priorities. In many organizations, each team has its own culture, goals, and targets. Moving successfully from a campaign mindset to personalized and connected customer journeys requires cross-functional partnerships across the organization. Everyone should understand the vision, commercial imperative, and customer context. And KPIs should be adjusted to make customer experience a barometer of success.
Connected buyer journeys need connected customer data.
To orchestrate personalized omnichannel journeys, access to unified customer data is crucial. In short, there must be a centralized source of customer truth to activate personalized journeys. Yet too often, customer data is stored across fragmented silos, making it impossible to extract insights fast.

Create compelling journeys for every customer.
Moments matter. Every interaction makes a difference in the way your brand is perceived. Every touchpoint is an opportunity to differentiate, provide value, and create a more meaningful connection with your customer. This enhances engagement, cultivates customer loyalty, and drives business revenue.
Journey orchestration technology is the key that unlocks your ability to design, trigger, and optimize personalized customer journeys across all channels in real time. And brands are beginning to recognize a clear commercial imperative for enhancing their orchestration capabilities.

After decades of increasingly loud noise from undirected campaigns, consumers have become numb to generic marketing messages. The messages that cut through and resonate are personalized and highly contextual. They show an awareness that you understand your customer’s relationship with your brand and are alert to their buying intent.
With customer journey orchestration, it’s possible to:
- Create unique moments that surprise and delight your customers
- Set triggers that react to customer signals in real time
- Use external events to activate new customer journeys
- Build omnichannel campaigns driven by your customers’ relationship with your brand
Once you’ve designed your journeys, they operate seamlessly in the background. When customers meet the specific selection criteria, they automatically enter and flow through the journey based on their interactions and behaviors to trigger next-best experiences. Marketing and product teams with granular controls can adjust these journeys based on real-time data insights. It brings transformative efficiency to marketing operations.
Real-time equals right-time engagement.
Journey orchestration technology reconciles the latest customer actions across all channels to make sure your interactions are always relevant, timely, and responsive to customer intent. After all, no consumer wants to see an ad from your brand with a discount on the exact product they purchased from you two weeks earlier. And if you’ve canceled your flight, it’s galling to receive push notifications about departure information on the day you should have been traveling.
With journey orchestration technology, you can create journeys that respond to customer behavior and location as well as external events such as weather, sports results, and much more.
Buyer behavior
A cosmetics retailer notices a customer buying the same moisturizer every month. So, they send an SMS with a link to a personalized landing page showcasing an exfoliator and toner from the same range and offering a discount.
Geolocation
A football fan travels back home and is sent an email with ticket availability for his cherished team. When he walks past the club shop, he’s sent an SMS with a discount code for the latest home team jersey.
Weather
The weather is forecasted to be hot. So, the local coffee shop sends its loyalty app users a pre-commute push notification promoting its range of iced drinks.
Loyalty
Christmas is coming. You give your most loyal customers 48 hours to pre-order their Christmas turkey before availability is opened to your remaining customer base.
Future-facing journey orchestration technology.
And the opportunities for your brand.
Modern journey orchestration technology can act as a nerve center for creating, activating, and optimizing your customer journeys and omnichannel experiences. Here are the top capabilities to look out for:
Reach any channel, at the right time.
The best orchestration platforms enable you to send messages to any digital surface. That means native inbound and outbound channels, such as email, in-app, SMS or MMS, and web — but also utilizing third-party extensibility to send messages to novel outbound surfaces like ATMs, kiosks, smart televisions, and digital advertising boards. If you can imagine a message there, you should be able to send it.
To make this possible, you need the right data foundations — a centralized customer data profile that provides an up-to-the-minute record of every interaction from every customer — all synced into cohesive customer identities. And, of course, when you are handling customer data, privacy is a core concern.
Powerful data privacy and governance infrastructure should be built into your orchestration platform. Look for capabilities such as consent management, data labeling, usage enforcement, and consent policy creation to keep customer data secure and compliant across all business lines.

Create journeys that work harder for your business.
The more you personalize your journeys, the better your customer data gets. The better your data gets, the more you can personalize. Journey orchestration technology should give you the ability to visualize how customers are moving through your journeys in real time, with fine-tuned reporting and measurement capabilities.
That means measuring performance across all live journeys with a dashboard view of how many people are entering your journeys, engaging with them, and exiting. It means checking how many customers qualify for a new journey and monitoring how many are enrolled in real time. And it means utilizing modelling for insights into how a new journey might perform before you activate it.
Intuitive journey design and rapid content creation.
Leading journey orchestration technologies make it possible to design customer journeys using drag-and-drop functionality, with the ability to activate journeys across all channels in real time. Of course, orchestrating personalized journeys is one thing — creating the marketing assets is another. Look for the ability to natively design content, such as WYSIWYG designers, a coding interface, and message templates. Importing your brand assets should be seamless to help you rapidly craft engaging content optimized for your channels of choice.
Finally, seamless interoperability with your marketing, analytics, and customer data technology is another essential.
The solution for successful customer engagement.
AI can reshape what’s possible with journey orchestration.
The most advanced orchestration technology can:
- Incorporate AI to enhance customer journeys
- Utilize models that improve personalization and offer decisioning
- Generate on-brand content at speed — with variations for different audiences
- Automate next-best actions and personalized product offers
- Automatically rank your journeys and offers based on their ability to drive toward your strategic business goals
Telmore talks the talk when it comes to better communication.
Telmore isn’t a typical telecommunications company. It’s also a leader in Denmark’s video, music, and entertainment industries. Telmore had amassed a wealth of customer data. Unfortunately, much of that data was siloed, making it more difficult for marketers to show customers the right bundles for them. A customer who enjoys listening to music would see the same offers as a casual TV watcher or a media fanatic who wants access to all the streaming services.
With Adobe, Telmore now benefits from a rich view of customers — with online and offline data from across systems. Everything from subscriptions and churn scores to website and app behavior data is unified. Now, when customers visit their website and app or browse Facebook, they see consistent campaigns and offers because Telmore marketers know what interests them.

Your first step toward leading journey orchestration.
When you’re taking your first step with journey orchestration, it can be easy to lose sight of your core business goals.
So, while your journeys should always be customer-focused, they should also sync back to your strategic and commercial targets for each stage of the customer lifecycle — whether that’s increasing conversion, boosting customer sentiment, enhancing loyalty, or something else.
Given the vast potential, identifying the first journeys to focus on can feel overwhelming. But it’s nearly always best to begin where you already have easy access to reliable customer data. That way, you can quickly prove the impact of journey orchestration. You have a use case that shows how you can get closer to your customers, boost marketing engagement, and drive toward your business objectives. From there, you can build momentum and progressively develop more dynamic and nuanced customer journeys.
Now is the time to build closer connections with your customers.
By harnessing the power to orchestrate personalized journeys delivered at precisely the right moment, brands have an exciting opportunity to bolster marketing engagement, cement lasting relationships with customers, and take definitive steps toward their strategic goals.
As traditional, generic campaigns lose impact with audiences, your future success is contingent on your ability to create one-to-one personalized interactions that respond to in-the-moment customer behavior — and are served on the channels that matter most to your customers.
It’s all part of the journey.
The journey starts here.
