Data-driven orchestration enables marketing to move personalization from one-to-many to one-to-one.
Personalization is delivered via a hybrid of orchestration techniques. Merkle has categorized these techniques into an orchestration maturity model, with five levels of increasing effectiveness in people-based marketing decision making.
- Rules-based leverages business-defined rules and decisioning.
- Segment develops audience segments for decisioning.
- Predictive uses an automated algorithmic decisioning engine to select next-best offer.
- Prescriptive uses detailed interactive data that provides customer intent.
- For cognitive, artificial intelligence understands customer intent and manages conversations.
