Opportunities and challenges for brands

diva-e was live at the Allianz Arena Munich

Did you know that brand loyalty is currently at its lowest level in 30 years?

Together with Stefan Mennerich (Director Media and Communications at FC Bayern Munich), Ulrike Wortmann (Chief Marketing Officer at Best4Tires), Alexander Graf (CEO & Founder Spryker, Founder Kassenzone Blog), Paul Keuter (Member of the Management Board Hertha BSC GmbH & Co. KGaA) and Andreas Glänzer (CRO and Co-Founder of Adverity), diva-e Frank Rauchfuß (Managing Director Consulting & Data at diva-e) talked about the topic "In Digital Touch With Your Fanbase: Opportunities and Challenges for Brands".

Never before has it been so important for companies to build up a fan base. Fans are the best customers, because they ensure the economic success of companies. They have purchasing power, are loyal in times of crisis and give honest feedback. And they inspire and convince their environment of products and services, thus ensuring additional sales in both B2B and B2C environments.

"The number one priority should be authenticity - in everything you do through your own channels."

Paul Keuter on how to create a strong emotional connection with the brand.

Digital touchpoints are becoming increasingly important

The fact is that the number of digital touchpoints is continuously increasing. Capturing and connecting fragmented customer journeys remains a challenge for brands and a consistent brand experience. The result: high brand switching frequency among consumers or fans, fueled by periods of limited physical presence in the stadium or flagship store. So this is exactly where the key to the fan principle lies. The solution: Intelligent data analysis! If you use insights cleverly and know your target group and their preferred touchpoints, you can prevent brand erosion and successfully increase brand magnetism.
