The three layers of experience

 

In order to shape the future of your company, it is important to focus not only on the customer and brand experience but also on the employee experience: creating great customer experiences starts with your employees.

Customer Experience

A great experience influences purchase decisions. It makes customers willing to spend more and stay loyal longer. Yet there is still a huge gap between what customers expect and the experience delivered - creating an opportunity sweet spot for your business.

Closing this gap requires deep insights, strong ideas and the creativity to apply new technology concepts correctly.

Brand Experience

Without an outstanding brand experience, there will be no customer experience to deliver. It serves the consumer even before he becomes a customer. Great brand experiences not only communicate - they connect and bring a person into a lasting and meaningful relationship with a brand.

Authenticity, purpose and personalization are the future cornerstones of a successful brand.

Employee Experience

A great customer experience is not possible without an outstanding employee experience.

Providing employees with the tools, awareness, room to make decisions, new working models and access to customer experiences are the cornerstones of a truly customer-centric organization.

The tech-influencers of digital experience

The near future and the success of the Digital Experience will be shaped by developments in the areas of voice control,
artificial intelligence & machine learning as well as mixed reality. These are all technologies that are being driven forward at a rapid pace.
Reply is dedicated to exploring the possibilities in all three areas.

Voice & Conversational

Voice or conversational interfaces will completely change the way customers interact with brands or buy products.

Marketing will take place even more strongly between people and machines. Therefore, we urgently need to explore and understand how to bring emotion and empathy into this relationship. Because emotion is and remains a decisive factor in marketing. To design dialogues that feel natural, include brand values, deliver comprehensive results and lead to the desired action will be the key challenge.

AI & Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will take marketing automation to the next level.

Artificial Intelligence will help marketers to predict very accurately which content is most relevant to their audience, when they are sensitive to it, and even what their next action will look like and what triggers are needed to achieve success. We should prepare ourselves for the fact that specific decisions in the future will be made and implemented more quickly by a software, eliminating assumptions by intelligent automation - and thus more space is created again for creativity and strategy delivered by human marketing teams.

Mixed Reality

Mixed reality applications will become the new normal.

As a hybrid of both AR and VR, Mixed Reality (MR) will be the next big paradigm shift in customer facing experiences after the rise of smart phones. By combining several types of technologies including sensors, advanced optics and next gen computing power and networks it will provide the user with the capability to overlay augmented holographic digital content into real-time space, creating scenarios that feel unbelievably real. MR will offer brands and advertisers the ability to connect, interact and sell to consumers in ways that never existed before. Although MR devices are still not completely ready for the mass market we support our clients in taking the first steps.
