Introducing Cheetah Personalization

By Patrick Tripp at Cheetah Digital

Personalisation has been a road well-travelled, and Cheetah Digital are no stranger to the topic. Patrick Tripp explains how they have taken personalisation across their solutions to the next level.

Traditional personalisation vendors emerged almost 20 years ago to provide ways of engaging consumers on websites by attempting to get the right content into the right place at the right time. While this remains laudable, marketers and vendors alike have found it difficult to deliver on the promise. According to Gartner, 80 per cent of marketers still struggle in gaining ROI from personalisation. Why? Data. Gartner notes that 27 per cent of marketers believe data is the key obstacle to personalisation, revealing their weaknesses in data collection, integration, and protection. Personalisation is all about the data: batch, streaming, structured, or unstructured, you need it in one place to aggregate, analyse, and activate.

Personalisation-as-a-strategy, personalisation-as-a-technology, and personalisation-as-a-market is ripe for reinvention. As Seth Godin noted in the opening keynote of Signals20, it’s not as much about personalisation as it’s about being “personal.” Personalisation has existed across Cheetah solutions for some time, but now we have taken it to the next level. The next generation of personalisation is about relying on deep data insights, first- and zero-party data, and using machine learning to derive not only the right content, not only the right offer, not only the right channel, but the right sequence of events that leads to an automated path to conversion. We are delighted to introduce our next-generation personalisation solution, Cheetah Personalization. Cheetah Personalization includes three capabilities — Real-Time PersonalizationJourney Designerand Intelligent Offers. These capabilities allow you to deliver personalisation at scale with the Next-Best-Experience, the Next-Best-Journey, and incorporate the Next-Best-Content.
