This episode features an interview with Llibert Argerich, Chief Marketing Officer at Thumbtack where he leads the company’s marketing, brand, and communication teams. Llibert has nearly 20 years of experience at high-growth marketplace businesses, holding leadership roles at Udemy, eBay, and Expedia Group.
In this episode, Kailey sits down with Llibert to discuss the challenges of building a frictionless customer journey, the need for human interventions in AI, and how cross-functional teams help drive the holistic customer experience.
-------------------
Key Takeaways:
- While AI can’t replace all interactions, it can improve efficiency and productivity by delegating tasks to conversational AI that can accelerate solutions to customer problems.
- Marketing cannot be separate from product experience and customer value. Enhanced product market fit goes hand-in-hand with higher return on investment
- Chief Marketing Officers should also think of themselves as Chief Customer Officers. They are accountable for all marketing levers and demand that drives customer experience.
-------------------
“Thanks to the computational power, to AI, to the technology advancements, we can go down to one-on-one. Using everything we know about them, all the data they volunteer, all the data that we capture through their interactions with our products, and personalizing their experience for them to exactly what they need and where they are in their journey.” – Llibert Argerich
