How can organizations optimize their personalization strategy in an agile market? Learn how agile teams adapt swiftly to change with composable tech’s help.

Personalized digital experiences are more important than ever. In today’s consumer-driven world, customers expect brands to understand their wants and needs. However, many organizations don’t yet achieve the full benefits of personalization. According to CMSWire’s annual report, the 2024 State of Digital Customer Experience, only 20% of DCX professionals say that their organization is already reaping the benefits of personalization.

Tailoring content and customizing customer journeys can be time-consuming and challenging without the right tools, like composable technology. It also doesn’t help that consumer trends change almost daily. In a landscape shaped by ever-evolving customer expectations, success is not just about personalization — it’s about staying nimble to meet these shifting demands head-on. That's where agile personalization steps in, empowering marketing teams to swiftly adapt and exceed customers' dynamic expectations in real time.

Building a Team With Agile Personalization Capabilities

Agile personalization requires clear communication and cross-functional collaboration between every team that has a role in delivering the digital experience. Customer data arrives into an organization from many directions and channels, and only by centralizing and analyzing that data can marketing teams get a full picture of customer behaviors. With this agile framework, teams can adjust their campaigns in real time to ensure that they’re remaining relevant to the customer.

Automation is a key feature that makes it possible to streamline and personalize the customer journey in this way. Automated tools can gather, sort and analyze customer data in real time, helping marketing teams have consistent access to the most updated customer profiles. This technology also lets teams personalize messages at scale and send targeted messages to specific customer segments at any time. With automation taking over these time-consuming parts of the workflow, customer-facing teams can work more quickly and efficiently.

Benefits of Agile Personalization

Agile personalization, with the help of composable technology, is key to a future-ready company’s ability to react fast and retain top business. When market conditions shift, it enables quick adjustments, allowing for rapid testing and adaptation based on real-time insights.

But there's more to it than just speed. Agile personalization cultivates an environment for innovation. It empowers marketing teams to experiment, learn from trends and evolve strategically. This approach isn't just about catching up — it's about pioneering new paths by embracing a culture of learning and adaptability.

Learning Opportunities

A key piece of technology that enables modern agile personalization is composable architecture, which gives organizations the ability to be agile and flexible when responding to evolving customer needs. With composable architecture, companies can integrate different systems into the same place and access real-time data that they can use to change content based on changing customer behaviors.

How Composable Solutions Work to Bolster Your Strategy

Composable solutions have features that seamlessly enable scalability, flexibility and efficiency -– helping companies more easily innovate and experiment with their personalization strategy. Contentstack, for example, has features like Automation Hub and Live Preview to streamline operations and ensure smooth delivery of hyper-personalized digital experiences. Marketers can automate tasks to better tailor content, create custom segments and visually validate the customer experience across any and every channel.

Contentstack also seamlessly integrates with different technology partners and platforms, empowering businesses to extend the functionalities of the headless CMS platform and supercharge their personalization strategy with an extensive ecosystem of turn-key integrations.

The “Repeat Path” function of the Automation Hub lets content teams input content and audience, and then the app will rewrite the content for that specific audience. This feature makes narrow personalization easier than ever before, and teams can easily generate content for different audiences.
