The digital revolution that created so many new business and marketing opportunities is now driving the customer revolution. Digital media and channels allow for more data capture, and the ability to gather information in real time is enabling real-time interactions. The report shows that marketers must recognize that each customer has unique needs, perceptions and value to the organization, and must engage him or her accordingly.

"To succeed in the new customer-driven environment, organizations must use information, technology and analytics to effectively engage customers across medias and channels to drive the value of their customer portfolios," said Merkle CEO and Chairman David Williams. "Future competitive advantage will depend upon an organization's ability to understand, track, engage, measure and influence consumer behavior. With the digital revolution, customers have grown accustomed to real time, individualized interaction and they expect this level of engagement from the brands they value."
