What did we do

To enable a continuous and seamless conversation for Aegon’s clients, Newcraft supported in developing and implementing a strategy on marketing automation. By guiding the implementation of Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Google Marketing Platform, Newcraft helped to improve efficiency and effectiveness of Aegon’s communication channels.

 

Implementing marketing automation world-wide doesn’t just improve customer-centricity, Aegon was able to optimize media spend and save costs by insourcing media, making media agencies redundant.

 

Achieving Aegon’s ambitious goals requires more than state of the art technology; it needs a different way of working and matching capabilities. In order to empower the marketing teams around the globe, Newcraft and Aegon developed the Digital Marketing Academy. Executives, managers and specialists from 12 different countries participated in tailor-made programs around customer-centricity, data-driven marketing and technology.

“

Personalization, targeting and automation of the customer journey are the key focus points of our digital marketing strategy. With Newcraft we create extra execution power to not just develop technical capabilities worldwide, but especially to build the skills and know-how to use this technology. You can give your team a Ferrari, but they also have to learn how to drive.
