  In this episode, Kathryn speaks with Liz Teran, Chief Marketing Officer at Owlet Baby Care, discussing how to market to a rapidly changing addressable market with very short buying cycles. Liz shares her insights into leveraging both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as how they tweak their messaging to accommodate for different mindsets throughout the buyers' pregnancy journey. Guest Quote: “Owlet has one of the largest infant health data sets in the world. so this is really exciting. We're just getting started, but there's so many opportunities for us to use that information to, you know, empower parents further to just delight them in their product experience. For example, things we're talking about but haven't implemented yet, might be like, ‘Oh, we can see that your baby woke several times last night. It looks like you had a rough night, mom. You know, here's a Starbucks gift card on us. Have a good day.' You know, so it's not just the product pieces of like, oh, your child might be getting sick, or this, you know, key health metric has changed for them, but also just provide them a delightful brand experience as well. And I think that's really magical.”Episode Breakdown: [03:51] Alchemy Unveiled: Take the path less traveledDigging into the data often leads you down a path that differs from industry trends or traditional approaches. Make sure to leverage scrappy, intuitive data to truly understand buyer needs.  [11:09] From Nuggets to Campaign Gold: Nothing beats word-of-mouthWhen Owlet learned that 50 percent of their customers first heard of them through a friend or family member, they changed their strategy, leaning into parent stories over features. [20:02] Gold Rush!

Guest post by Paul Turley, Senior Director, ServiceNow Ireland Retailers today face a unique blend of challenges and opportunities. Customers are more demanding than ever, expecting seamless, personalised shopping experiences across every channel. Securing buyer loyalty is tougher, and with the commercial landscape constantly evolving, it's crucial for retailers to unlock the true value of the customer data at their fingertips. Retailers have long sat on a goldmine of data, but artificial intelligence is the key to unlocking its full potential - helping them transition from 'analogue to digital,' and enabling retailers to both survive and thrive. The data generated by customers forms the foundation for improved customer service. AI - particularly generative AI - holds enormous potential, from resolving in-store issues to personalising the customer journey. The appetite for AI is growing, with spending outside traditional IT set to rise by 52% this year, according to global research by IBM. AI in customer service, particularly for personalised responses, is projected to grow by 236% Forward-thinking retailers are already harnessing this technology to derive value from their data and future-proof their business. While last year saw cautious experimentation, today's leading retailers are leveraging AI not just for efficiency, but to reimagine the entire retail experience, delivering better outcomes for customers Towards seamless growth Currently, retailers spend a significant amount of time dealing with inefficient, siloed systems rather than actively serving customers. These inefficiencies make resolving issues - from HR challenges to IT issues - a lengthy and frustrating process. Tackling these challenges will significantly enhance customer satisfaction and drive long-term success, ensuring employees have the right technology to deliver optimum experiences for customers. By equipping teams with effective tools, businesses can create a customer-first culture that fosters loyalty and long-term growth. Take Carrefour, for example. Operating 12,000 stores in 30 countries and serving 104 million households, Carrefour faced recurring refrigeration failures that left customers facing empty chiller cabinets. By adopting a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) called 'Click & Repair,' Carrefour automated repair requests, routing key details like serial numbers directly to technicians and significantly accelerating resolutions. Staff can now request repairs via a mobile app, saving time, keeping shelves stocked, and ensuring maintenance is more effectively overseen for customers. Similarly, British supermarket giant Asda - operating 1,200 sites and 18 million customers - faced the challenge of creating a unified system for handling HR, IT, and a wide range of operations. Separating more than 2,500 systems from former owner Walmart, the transition dubbed 'Project Future' also enabled new workflows in Customer Service Management which saved time, freeing up employees to focus much more on delivering for customers both face-to-face and online. The company is now looking to the future with a platform built for further innovation. These cases highlight how integrated systems enable sharper customer focus and long-term growth. Going forward, AI innovations are set to have an even more dramatic impact on customer service, which will be explored in ServiceNow's Consumer Voice Report later this year. The AI difference In e-commerce, AI operates behind-the-scenes to provide smoother customer experiences, leveraging natural language processing to understand queries about warranties, accessories, and more. AI-driven product recommendations and targeted offers also help to build customer loyalty and encourage repeat visits. For agents dealing directly with customer complaints, generative AI can be so powerful. With agents often overburdened, generative AI can help them deliver rapid, effective responses by enhancing search capabilities...

Shoot us a Text.We're wrapping up the week so we can hit NADA running. Today, we cover how GM has settled a case with the FTC about collection and selling of data collected through Onstar. Plus, EV registrations are rising amid concerns that President Trump will get rid of the IRA tax credit, and lessons learned from the 2025 National Retail Foundation Big Show.Show Notes with links:General Motors has reached a settlement with the FTC over allegations that it sold customer driving data without their consent. The FTC alleged that GM's OnStar service collected precise geolocation and driving behavior data, which was then sold to third parties, including consumer reporting agencies. GM failed to clearly disclose to consumers that it collected and sold this data.The FTC claims that GM's enrollment process for the OnStar Smart Driver feature was "confusing and misleading."GM has discontinued the Smart Driver program and ended its third-party telematics relationships with LexisNexis and Verisk.Under the settlement, GM is banned from disclosing this type of consumer data to consumer reporting agencies for five years.The company will also take steps to provide greater transparency and choice to consumers over the collection, use, and disclosure of their connected vehicle data."Respecting our customers' privacy and earning their trust is deeply important to us," GM said.Electric vehicle registrations saw a significant jump in November as consumers rushed to take advantage of automaker discounts and secure the $7,500 federal tax credit, which may be repealed under President-elect Donald Trump.EV registrations surged 21% year-over-year to 109,120 vehicles in November.Battery-electric vehicles captured 8.3% of the U.S. light-vehicle market, up from 7.4% a year earlier.Automakers, fearing a drop in EV demand if incentives are repealed, offered deep discounts and lease deals.Tesla led the market with 46,225 registrations, while GM brands saw the most growth, particularly Chevrolet.The National Retail Foundation 2025 Big Show in New York brought together tens of thousands of retail professionals to discuss the landscape of shopping, technology, and consumer behavior. Key themes included adaptability, embracing failure, and the growing role of AI-driven dynamic pricing in retail strategies.Best Buy CEO Corie Barry emphasized "adaptability over perfection," noting that retailers must balance both in-store and digital experiences to remain competitive.Amazon's Doug Herrington echoed Jeff Bezos's sentiments on learning to fail, saying, "If you get too good at avoiding failure, innovation becomes nearly impossible."Macy's CEO Tony Spring rejected the idea that department stores are dead, instead calling them a "curated marketplace" that can flex with shifting consumer demand.Target's Rick Gomez praised the resilient, resourceful, and intentional American conHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
