Ogilvy & Mather's eCommerce practice to sponsor NRF's annual expo
NEW YORK, NY - Commerce@Ogilvy, Ogilvy & Mather's cross-disciplinary eCommerce and retail offering, is a first time sponsor of this year's National Retail Federation's Annual Convention and Expo, nicknamed "Retail's BIG Show." Continuous Commerce™ - the agency's take on the future of retail - will be debuted at the retail conference, to be held at the Javits Center in New York from January 12-15.
Launched in 2012, Commerce@Ogilvy's mission is to design consumer-centric shopping experiences for brands across multiple channels anywhere, anytime. It works across Ogilvy's domains of expertise (OgilvyOne Worldwide, Geometry Global, Neo@Ogilvy and RED) and partners, both within the WPP network (Salmon, Effective UI and Bottle Rocket) and externally (IBM and Qualcomm) to deliver solutions driven by unique customer insights and holistic commerce strategies, and enabled by robust data and technology platforms.
Speaking about the sponsorship, Brian Fetherstonhaugh, Chairman & CEO, OgilvyOne Worldwide and Executive Sponsor of Commerce@Ogilvy, said: "The future of commerce is more than just a shopping cart on a website - it's about seamlessly integrating a brand's shopping experiences across multiple environments throughout a consumer's lifetime to continually optimize points for purchase. We call this Continuous Commerce and we're delighted to be showcasing our viewpoint and capabilities to BIG Show attendees for the first time this year."
There are three components of the Continuous Commerce offering:
• Omnichannel - continuity for the brand and the consumer across multiple channels, devices and locations to enable sales anytime, anywhere;
• Relationship - whether new to the brand or loyal advocate, continually tailored to the individual;
• Experience - an experience that will delight across every touch-point.
Continuous Commerce will be illustrated via a digital collection of opinion pieces and case studies authored by Ogilvy's global leadership and strategic partners. Articles can be viewed at ContinuousCommerce.ogilvydo.com
In addition to the Commerce@Ogilvy booth (#4422), Ogilvy will also have a presence at Qualcomm Retail Solutions (booth #601), jointly demonstrating Gimbal mobile technology. The demonstration will showcase how proximity awareness can fuel contextual marketing, by leveraging segmentation data in a physical retail situation and applying business rules resulting from the proximity triggers to facilitate targeted communications in real time.
