MARKETING IS STUCK IN THE LAST CENTURY
• Chasing bygone behaviors
• Amplifying channel centricity
• Over-indexing on advertising
• Promote a false sense of precision
• Don’t account for complex human nature
![Page 28: Intercontinental Hotels: Our Transition to Real-Time Marketing By Charlie Aspey and Nick Worth](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/587016371a28ab7f428b584d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

CONSUMER-FIRST PRINCIPLES SHOULD GUIDE DECISIONS
Identify & Recognize – in real-time & across channels
Insight-Driven – predictive & contextual
Relevant – channel-flexible & touchpoint-agnostic
Appreciated – valued & respectful
![Page 30: Intercontinental Hotels: Our Transition to Real-Time Marketing By Charlie Aspey and Nick Worth](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/587016371a28ab7f428b584d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
THE VOYAGE TO “CONSUMER FIRST”
• Rethink how you identify and recognize consumers
• Leverage predictive and contextual capabilities
• Build permission and earn your consumers’ attention
• Seek to become appreciated and valued by consumers
• Start small and build
