Present Customer Expects Better ExperienceEXPERIENCE FOCUSED MARKETING

Due to the change and diversification of values, not only the value of the product or service itself, but also the customer experience, such as what kind of experience the customer has had and what kind of satisfaction the customer has received at every stage from purchase to use and support of the product or service, is becoming more important.
As the importance of digital continues to grow, Underworks will continue to strive to create a superior experience at every customer contact point, including digital.

Regarding Experience Focused Marketing, we appreciate 5 values below to realize improved customer experience.

・Entire Journey:Consider not only before and after purchase, but also whole customer purchasing process or utilization phase after purchase
・Omni-Channel:Provide better and seamless customer experience across channels, targeting customers who go back and forth through different channels
・Personalization:Take into consideration the difference of customer needs and expectations, and provide One-to-One experience based on data
・Interactive/Social:Make customer communication interactive rather than one-way, and take social experience into consideration
・Real-time/Fast:Provide experience with the right timing. Reply fast in real time

To realize these values, we will promote “Campaign”, “Contents”, and “Analytics” based on “Strategy”, “Data”, “Technology”, and “Governance” (lower half part of circle).

Looking to a future beyond our imagination

As digitalization is changing the relationship between companies and their customers, customer contact points are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. On the other hand, consumers, both digital and non-digital, are not only looking for convenience in their purchasing activities, but also for a better experience.

In other words, companies need to conduct "creative communication that leads to better customer experience" and "creative communication that leads to improved experience value" in "optimal timing and channels through understanding customer needs based on customer data". In order to achieve this, it is necessary to actively promote "data management and marketing technology utilization.

On the other hand, the explosive spread of marketing technology is gaining momentum every year, as shown in the "Marketing Technology Chaos Map" that we compile every year. The total number of marketing technologies available in the domestic market now exceeds 1,000, and new categories and trends emerge every year. In this environment, companies need to develop strategies, implement them, and measure their effectiveness in a wide range of digital marketing areas, from right-brained areas such as "creative design and content" to left-brained areas such as "technology and data integration and analysis.

In such a market environment, we at UnderWorks would like to provide one-stop support from strategy to execution in the digital marketing domain, and create the development of digital marketing for Japanese companies and more affluent consumer behavior.
