Saying Doing

“Our digital experiences

aren’t coordinated across

channels or silos.”

“We’re have a lot of

aren’t integrated.”

“Personalization is

the phase two that

never comes.”

“We want a 360-degree

across all of our digital

channels.”

“We will deliver the right

information to the right

person at the right time.”

customer obsessed. We

want to differentiate on
