Music preferences are as intimate and personal as it gets. People are specific about the kind of music they listen to, based on but not restricted to factors such as age, the music they listened to while growing up, mood, memories attached to a particular type of music, occasion, time of the day, so on and so forth.
Understanding what your listeners care about and anticipating what they may care about next is the name of the game. Now multiply that by millions of listeners, do that in real-time and use the information to talk to them across the appropriate communication channels. Easy, no?
Personalisation starts at the first touchpoint with customer acquisition targeting and follows the listener through the onboarding, activation and retention journeys. Deezer’s CRM team needed help capturing relevant data points throughout the journey to understand its listeners’ preferences and design experiences that engaged its audiences at scale.
We’ve been a Braze customer for many years. Now, it’s time for us to take things to the next level. Our CRM teams are becoming more autonomous and data-driven.
