Telcos that Solve Business Problems with IT: A Conversation that Needs to Happen

By |2023-09-12T08:54:25+08:00September 11, 2023|Categories: Data|Tags: , , , |

For as long as I can remember, telcos have always been seen as just a dumb pipe, good enough to deliver connectivity, but never quite able to successfully associate their brand with over the top (OTT) services, and more.  Which is a shame because the network infrastructure which they invest millions if not billions into, enable many services and capabilities. Telecommunication players have more opportunity to influence than we think. It’s not just the vast amount of customer and telemetry data that they can have at their disposal. The nature of their business calls for multiple touch points for customers ... Read More

People could rack up many years of experience in a marketing role and still not fully understand what it truly entails. And then there are those who quickly shed any initial perceptions they may have and work their role to the best of their ability while proactively seeking to learn more. Mavis Liew, a marketing veteran turned CMO advisor at Forrester, fresh out of college, had started in a junior marketing role, thinking it was going to be all about glamor, glitz, and luxury brands. “Instead, I was doing really simple stuff like writing collateral, some public relations, organizing ...

To be honest, it’s not all martech talk, but rather the enablers and hurdles to cross for wider adoption, right? There are even all ... Read More

One of the earliest questions I asked Forrester’s Mavis Liew set the tone for the rest of the interview - she had so specifically picked out business-to-business marketing as her career of choice: why is this so, and what are its top differences from consumer marketing? “The markets are very different. In B2C you are looking at very sensitive price points, packaging, and so on. In B2B marketing, it’s about understanding your buyers—understanding that your buyers are not individuals but a group, and when marketing to this group, you need to understand the dynamics of the buying group.
