"Where will AI make the biggest impact in the digital experience stack by 2025?" At Opticon, Mike Kovach nailed it: “𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲.” AI isn’t just about shiny new tools — it’s about 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 and 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀. At Whereoware, we’re focused on helping companies connect the dots between technology, strategy, and 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Check out this quick clip CMSWire captured at Opticon.

🎊 Another successful executive off-site!

🎉 Huge congratulations to Tyler Wentworth for his recognition at WIN Waste Innovations' Annual Sales Conference for his contributions to their Marketing and E-Commerce success. It's always a pleasure to see our clients win big! 🎉
What a week this week at the WIN Waste Innovations Annual Sales Conference! Elmira Abbaspour, Liz Allard, and Caitlin McGovern put together a fantastic few days at the AC Hotel in Portsmouth with the Sales team and many members of our company's Operations and Leadership team. I'm incredibly proud to share (and dang was I surprised!) that I was recognized with an award for outstanding performance related to my commitment to our company's values and the work I've done on marketing/e-commerce. The success we've seen in this space is broader than my individual efforts, to be sure, and there are far too many people to tag and thank, but I'm so grateful to all who have embraced me, my ideas, and my nerdiness for marketing analytics and spreadsheets so far in my career at WIN Waste! Proud to be a part of this #OneTeam! #winwaste #performancefortheplanet

🔍 At Optimizely’s Hackathon, we set out to tackle a major challenge for businesses: 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 #𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? 𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 experience designed to make searching more intuitive, personalized, and engaging. - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲: Users receive a conversational search response, complete with suggested searches and products in one streamlined interaction – not the typical list of search results. Unlike traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that rely on clicking buttons, typing keywords, or navigating menus, conversational UIs allow users to communicate with systems, as they would with another person. - 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀: Admins can tailor search prompts to better contextualize results, improving accuracy and relevance based on user input. - 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: By integrating with customer data platforms, we can deliver hyper-personalized responses that guide users to the most relevant content or products for their needs, improving content discovery, trust, and satisfaction. (E.g., fewer site abandons). 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? - 87% of consumers turn to search engines for answers, but a staggering 72% of site searches 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. - Those who do use search are 2.6x more likely to drive revenue and 64% of people use search to address the “𝗜-𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁-𝘁𝗼-𝗯𝘂𝘆-𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁” – making search a gamechanger for driving conversions. - Our Conversational AI Search bridges that gap by offering a dynamic, real-time, and user-friendly interaction — similar to a chatbot, but all within the search bar. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 — where users get more relevant, contextual responses that evolve with each query. Our solution combines Optimizely’s Reference Architecture, Vercel, Optimizely SaaS CMS, Graph QL, OpenAI, and SearchStax, but can extend to other platforms and interfaces, like Coveo, Curata, Jasper, and more. 🚀 Excited to see how we can keep innovating on Optimizely and other digital platforms! Reach out to see the Conversational AI Search experience in-action and start delivering higher value search results to your customers. #AI #SearchExperience #Innovation #Optimizely #DigitalMarketing

🚀 We had an incredible time at Optimizely’s Hackathon in NYC! 🎉 A huge shoutout to the Optimizely team for organizing the fun and friendly competition. Our team tackled the challenge head-on, creating something truly exciting by reimagining the way users interact with website #search. 👉 Introducing our custom, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 #𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 built on Optimizely’s SaaS CMS – designed to deliver better, more interactive and robust search results in real time. When 72% of site searches completely fail expectations and lead to site abandonment – building a more intuitive and satisfying search experience is crucial. 🔍 With personalized, contextual search responses that adapt based on user input, brands can now engage customers in a conversation, while returning more varied and relevant results — not just a list of links. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱. We can't wait to keep pushing boundaries with Optimizely and deliver even more value for our clients!🤝 #Optimizely #Hackathon #Innovation #AI #DigitalExperience #SearchExperience CC Matthew Damon Eric MacKenzie David Sterenberg Mike Kovach Jeff Cheal Marco Echeverria Alexander Atzberger Coveo

🚀 Customer experience is more than just a differentiator—it’s a revenue generator. But how do you keep raising the bar? In our latest blog, we explore innovative strategies to elevate your #CX. Here’s why it matters: 🎉 Customers who receive exceptional service are 93% more likely to make repeat purchases and spend 43% more with brands they trust. Plus, reducing customer churn can significantly lower costs, especially since customer acquisition costs have skyrocketed by 222% in the last eight years for e-commerce. By delivering better experiences, you’re not just creating loyalty—you’re driving revenue and cutting acquisition costs. Check out our latest blog for ideas to boost your customer experience: https://lnkd.in/eNukndM8
