"Joining Agillic as Head of AI, I will be drawing on my experiences working in the cross-section of data analysis, customer experience and leadership. It is great to be at a place where data analysis is highly prioritised and where the value of analysis is being directly translated into action as is the case with Agillic's clients. My focus is going to be on creating even more momentum in our AI offering and helping our clients excel within their digital business models. Also, Agillic is a perfect fit for me because of the large and diverse client pool and because the organisation has a culture, where you can make a difference."
Jesper Valentin, CEO of Agillic comments:

We want the Agillic AI to be as easy to work with as the rest of the Agillic Customer Marketing Platform.

AI creates the basis for massive improvements in communication efficiency
During 2019, Agillic will reinforce and enhance the AI offering to the benefit of Agillic's partners and clients. Already, the AI capability has been integrated deeply into the Agillic platform, making it easy for marketers to use AI-enriched communication. This happens as part of a market trend where contemporary consumers are increasingly becoming immune to traditional advertising. The "one size fits all" campaigns are losing impact and personalisation is becoming the new norm by which consumers have come to expect hyper individualised content and interactions of constant relevance.
Paradoxically, it is the amount of data available that is simultaneously enabling and complicating the creation of hyper personalised communication. This is why marketers need tools such as the Agillic Customer Marketing Platform offering both data analysis of large volumes and communication execution across channels.
By deploying Agillic's AI-powered customer journeys, i.e. communication flows, marketers can both create and execute hyper personalised and effective communication to large audiences and increase the commercial value of the communication. Clients who have deployed Agillic's AI-powered customer journeys have experienced improvements between 300-900% in the communication efficiency, compared to traditional campaign communication.
