“Technological advances and consumer expectations are setting the bar higher and higher for personalization,” Wirth said. “Whether they’re in a store, using a website or app, or opening an email, customers must absolutely be treated like the individuals they are. That’s why we set out to write this book – to educate companies on the evolution and future of personalization, and to show how easy and important it is to power maximally relevant, individualized experiences. We wanted to demystify technologies like machine learning, predictive analytics and customer data platforms (CDPs), so companies can harness them to help and delight their customers.”

Sweet said: “We’re honored to receive this award – which speaks not only to the success of the book but also to the critical importance of personalization as a discipline. We frequently hear from readers that the examples, best practices and ideas we’ve provided have improved their digital marketing and customer relationships. That feedback is the best award of all! We’re extremely committed to helping companies deliver superior customer experiences, and to sparking and furthering a dialogue on personalization.”
