Summary and discussion
15.11.14Connection, Content & Creativity | Toon Bouten Page 32
Winning in online increasingly depends on being close to the
customer from various perspectives:
• Being relevant wherever the customer is with a unique product
and UX on all devices (“connection”)
• Being relevant with content that is based on true customer
needs and delivers true value (“content”)
• Being relevant with innovative products and features that clearly
set you apart from competition (“creativity”)
Mobile is real – if you postpone the formulation of a native mobile
strategy that takes into account new use cases you will not succeed
Strong brands that clearly stand for specific topics and inspire
confidence will become increasingly important when cost of search rises
Big Data will remain a buzzword if you do not transfer your data into
valuable personal products for your customers
