13. Context in action Waze Newspaper Audi dashboard
…Here, we see the new Audi TT’s dashboard, which they just revealed at CES earlier this year. The whole thing is 12.3 inch digital LCD screen, and the display automatically and dynamically changes to the context of your driving situation – or based on your commands. All of your standard info is there, but look at the wealth of contextual information right in front of your eyes as you’re driving. GPS/nav reveals not just where you are and where you’re headed, but the nearest hospital, fuel stations, and other areas of business. Just imagine – my next car could automatically tell me where the nearest Starbucks is right here in my dash display, mercilessly enabling my caffeine dependency, no matter where I am. You see, our context is becoming embedded in everything we use – in the world around us…

14. Context is the new remit. But how do you take advantage of it?
You need rethink marketing. It needs to be based on deeper customer insights, derived from the interactions you have with them every single day. Much like the connected product interactions we’re having with our cars, our FitBits, or even our coffee…your customers will demand CONTEXT in every interaction they have with you.

18. Master contextual experience delivery
Determine your brand’s North star.
Identify your unique interaction cycle in support of that.
Define your strategy 1
Reconceive the role of content to provide utility.
Embrace iterative and agile approaches.
Reorganize your processes 2
Take inventory of your existing technology assets.
Identify technologies needed to build the experiences.
Assemble your digital experience technology 3
Use big data technologies to get predictive.
Compress the insights-to-execution process.
Accelerate innovation with analytics 4
This whole thing begins with finding the soul of your brand. Find your our North star - the guiding principle that shapes your brand’s identity in people’s lives…whether it’s fast driving, living healthier lives, or enjoying flavorful foods. Only after you’ve determined that, can you identify your opportunity to create a unique interaction cycle that supports your brand promise.
Next, you need to attack your process. If the purpose of your campaigns change, so too must the process of developing and executing your programs. Focus on the utility of your content, and on speed, iteration, and agility in your execution.
Get smart about your technology assets now. Look at what you’re using and how it affects customers. You’ll inevitably uncover gaps in your current capabilities that will lead you to seek new technology. Just don’t do that in a vacuum. Engage your technology management colleagues, agencies, and other partners in the quest.
Finally, think of analytics as a source of innovation. While you may be getting tired of the hype around big data (or not), it will play a critical role in your contextual marketing engine. Whatever you choose to use here, strive to compress the data-to-insight process.
