Are you delivering personalized, omnichannel experiences at every customer touchpoint? If the answer is “no,” there are undoubtedly several factors impacting the ability to scale your content operations, from manual processes and cumbersome review cycles to difficulty locating assets and meeting compliance requirements.
But personalization is essential to competing and winning in today’s fast-paced world where customers want and expect a customized experience. You need to digitally transform the upstream and downstream processes of the customer experience—from brainstorming and kick-off, through design and delivery of content, all the way to reporting on performance—to create a sustainable and seamless experience across every customer touchpoint. The key to achieving this operational agility is intelligent automation.
Automation is essential to the modern content lifecycle and digital supply chain. From content planning to production to delivery, you need the ability to automate repetitive tasks so you can speed up output without compromising quality.

But developing and delivering content to support personalized experiences can cripple your team’s efficiency, workflows, and content lifecycle. Today’s marketers are faced with myriad internal and external challenges and often don’t have the time or resources to reach their full potential. Taking back control of an often-chaotic internal process is critical for brands that compete mostly on content quality and customer experience. Intelligent automation is a top strategic imperative for organizations. It enables them to streamline and scale decision-making, simplify processes, free up resources, and improve operational efficiencies.
“In the future, humans won’t create all the content themselves. They’ll slowly hand off that responsibility to machines, especially for rote and mundane content creation . . . Content automation at scale will help brands meet omnichannel personalization goals and create enhanced customer experiences.”
