CoreMedia CEO and co-founder Sören Stamer shared his wisdom on creating iconic digital experiences with marketers and merchandisers at the Online Marketing Rockstars (OMR) festival in Hamburg on May 17.
As I discussed in my last post, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) sales and marketing strategies are transforming the way that consumer brands interact with their retailers and customers. This is particularly true for direct-to-consumer brands such as Nike, Under Armour, Puma, Lululemon, Peloton, and more. Last time I gave an overview of the trends transforming the industry and highlighted a few tactics that sporting goods brands could pursue to ensure their direct-to-consumer future without alienating their traditional retailers.
or an expert in Marketing, the term “A/B testing” or "split testing" goes hand-in-hand with “Optimization”, “Improving landing page KPIs” and “Increasing conversion rates”. This term is used so often and means so many things to so many people that it’s hard to find a beginner’s view on the topic. My esteemed colleague Sigrid already talked about split testing and how easy it is to start these experiments with CoreMedia Content Cloud in her well-read blog post “Stop Watching the Crystal Ball”.
Is it just me or is there a new buzzword every year? I remember when AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) were the “it” buzzwords of the time. Fast forward to 2022, the new buzzwords seem to be Metaverse and Blockchain. If this has taught us anything, it’s that our world is in a constant state of flux.
As we approach the end the year and the holiday season, everyone here at CoreMedia is excited about our new gift - the first release of CoreMedia ContentCloud version 11. The first distribution this new release (v11.2110.1) will be out any day now and we can't wait to tell you about all of the great new features and enhancements.
As a marketer, I have been thinking a LOT about what 2022 will hold as I put pen to paper on next year’s marketing plan. Most every marketer I know is in the same mode. And as I look forward, I always try to take some time to look back.
The last couple of years have been hard on all brands. But it’s been especially hard on companies that sell to athletes and casual sports fans. Brands that mostly sell via department stores, big-box stores, and other retail channels are facing new challenges and rivals.
When the pandemic hit last year, consumer shopping trends drastically shifted. Pre-pandemic businesses were already moving to digital platforms, but the pandemic was a true forcing function. When the world shut down in March 2020, we were told it would only be a 3-week quarantine, which I, like many others, naively believed.
In this third and final post, I want to analyze the strategic business benefits of sophisticated content and experience management for global brands. Because when combined, these can have a major impact on a brand’s ability to compete effectively.
The first post in this three part series focused on the origin of CoreMedia Content Cloud and the ways it empowers brands to orchestrate iconic experiences at scale. In this second post, I want to dive deeper into the technology behind it.
