6 THE CHALLENGE

7 The channel experience singularity

8 Singularity /sɪŋɡjʊˈlarɪti/ (noun): a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space time when matter is infinitely dense, such as at the centre of a black hole a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change Google it. It s 2018!

9 The Channel Experience Singularity (noun): When channel proliferation accelerates beyond a brand s ability to have channel-specific, teams, strategies, and structures and must approach experience as a omnichannel continuum, supported by an ecosystem of touch-points Noz Urbina

10 How are we supposed to keep up?

11 Omnichannel is an integrated way of thinking about people s relationships with organisations. Rather than working in parallel, communication channels and their supporting resources are designed and orchestrated to cooperate, building a coherent, evolving, crosschannel experience. -

18 Personas

19 Personas Why bother? Personas document the characteristics and decision-making style of the most common (or most strategically interesting) audience segments What are their key objectives and frustrations? What tasks are involved in achieving their common objectives? What drives them in life, and specifically, in ways that might offer engagement opportunities for your brand? What channels and formats do they like to engage on? What forums, groups, or events do they participate in? Are they driven more by hard data, or instinct and emotion? How much are they influenced by environmental factors, like brand and reputation? What are their expectations when they engage with your brand? How well has their background prepared them for understanding your brand s domain, language, cultural references?

20 Selecting from the infinite Personas: A picture A generalised view of what could be millions of real people Journeys: A movie script A generalised narrative (story) representing a theoretically limitless number of potential customer experiences The journey map is a tool that allows the brand to select the stages that have business potential Persona is to Person as a Customer Journey Map is to Real Life Experience

21 Persona/Journey Terms Drive Something that compels me in life. I feel it s a place I want to arrive at, but I may approach it with various strategies. It s potentially ongoing, because it s hard to tell exactly when I ve achieved it. e.g.: I want to be respected by my peers I want to feel my career is progressing I want to feel secure in my financial future Objective (measurable goal) Specific, measurable milestone. The result of achieving this will mean I m making progress in regard to the things that drive me. e.g.: Own my own home Get a car Get a home loan approved by year-end Organise a European holiday for me and my friends Task / subtask (collectively activities ) Small contained series of defined actions that help me achieve an objective. e.g.: Fill out a loan application Get my credit score Action Subtasks: Gather my input data for credit score form, input the data online, etc. Individual step I take to accomplish a task or subtask Scenario The what, where, when, and why that sets the scene of that which I m trying to do. Scope Where my story starts and ends Scale How much detail I m going to go into while telling my story
