Loyalty 3.0 - Rewarding customers for their data

Join Hannah Bowler as she chats with her guests about Loyalty 3.0. As the story goes, in 1793 a merchant in New Hampshire began the first ever loyalty program by rewarding repeat customers with copper tokens. The tokens could be used towards future purchase. Modern day frequent flier and credit card programs would follow. Now the loyalty scheme has gone to a whole other level as brands are clamouring to gather as much first party data as possible. While the death date for third party cookies keeps moving, brands know they need to act now and leveraging loyalty is the tactic du jour.

The Ken Hein Show

Hyundai has had some big successes this year. The company just reported strong sales based on new vehicle launches and refreshes of some of their iconic models. One of the aspect that ignited these sales, and the marketing campaigns behind them, is effective media spending. Not so long ago buy media for auto companies was pretty rote. You know those TV ads of cars winding down scenic roads. These days, well, not so much. With millennials commanding more spending power and Gen Z not far behind, the mix has changed. Plus, there was that pandemic thing. CTV is all over the place. You name it. However, you slice it media buying is different.

First, it was search, then social, and now the third wave of digital media is upon us. Retail media is set to account for over 25% of total digital media spending by 2026 (BCG) and with this media buying approach comes a new tech architecture requiring cross-channel, cross-retailer agility and access to first-party data.
