Value Prioritisation Matrix – Example
Personalisation
is a key ingredient
in trust
Our ability to personalise is becoming severely challenged

3. The Government
These are actually all good things
• The challenges we face are more of a correction
• Chasing people across the internet is not
personalisation and never was
1. Give power back to the user for their data
2. Give power back to publishers that actual own
the trusted relationship with their customer
So, the door has opened for businesses to outperform
on a more purposeful, localised level.
First-class
personalisation
Personalisation has always been a good thing
• I go there every morning
This is me at my coffee shop
• It is not the cheapest option
• It’s not even the most convenient option
• I have a coffee machine at home...
But walking into MY coffee shop, where they
know my name and I don’t even have to tell
them my order...
• Makes me feel special
• Makes me feel connected
Personalisation is the bottom line
