“The challenge marketers face now is optimizing and scaling their brand language for maximum impact across the customer journey, all while staying true to that unique voice,” said Parry Malm, CEO of Phrasee.
“Constant turbulence and a lack of resources have made this already time-consuming task even more difficult, with most senior marketers struggling to keep customers consistently engaged across all digital channels.”
Malm added that the survey results show “an increasing willingness to turn to data-led approaches to solve these issues, but it remains to be seen whether brands will follow through on their intentions.”
Report methodology
“Brand Voice Comes of Age” is based on a survey of over 300 senior marketers at large organizations in multiple sectors: e-commerce; retail; travel; hospitality; restaurants; communications; telecom; utilities; banking; finance; and insurance.
The research is “powered by” Dynata, a first-party data and insights platform.
