A commissioned study, conducted on behalf of Zeta Global, finds that most organizations track customer lifetime value (CLV), but few apply it to their marketing strategies and tactics
NEW YORK: Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-powered marketing cloud, today published a Forrester Consulting Opportunity Snapshot, “Marketers Must Shift Their Understanding of Customer Value to be Forward-Looking.” The study, which was completed in February 2024 and captured insights from customer engagement strategy decision-makers in the US and UK, was commissioned by Zeta to examine how marketers currently assess and apply CLV and identify the changes needed to foster a more predictive and holistic approach in the era of Generative AI.
The Forrester study revealed that most organizations track CLV, but very few use the key metric in setting strategy, making investment decisions, and personalizing experiences across the customer lifecycle. This disconnect points to a critical gap in how data is collected and leveraged to inform forward-looking decisions that drive customer engagement and business growth.
"This study highlights a fundamental problem with digital marketing as it has been practiced for the past 20 years: the slow movement of data leading to a KPI dashboard that is backward-looking,” said David Steinberg, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta Global. “AI represents a new era in computing, and Generative AI will be the cornerstone of modern marketing strategies for those who can capitalize on data integrity, sophistication and speed. AI-powered models can shift CLV from the rear-view mirror to the windshield, empowering marketers to deliver more relevant consumer experiences and drive greater returns from their marketing investments.”
The findings emphasize that the future of effective marketing lies in the ability to predict and shape consumer attitudes.
Key findings from the study include:
