The world is full of diverse people with different interests, desires and motivations. As a result, personalization marketing is where many brands are going –– or trying to go.

When it comes to building and scaling personalization marketing, getting started (and knowing where and how to start) is the hardest part of the process.

In this session, Ron Zwerin, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Brand Strategy at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will share his personal journey to personalization that includes daunting moments, pitfalls to avoid, lessons learned and jobs to be done when building personalization marketing from the ground up.

Takeaway

• Focus on experiences. Memorable experiences are the Jobs to Be Done.
• Put strategy before structure because technology won’t save you.
• To survive the ride, internal credibility is critical. Be explicitly clear about what you’re going to do, do it, and measure it.
