About Client

The client is a major U.S. video-services provider delivering satellite television and streaming entertainment through multiple consumer brands. Its marketing organization manages high-volume campaigns across several digital and advertising platforms. The organization needed to consolidate customer and advertising data securely for journey orchestration, audience activation, cross-channel measurement, and future personalization.

About this project

The client managed hundreds of communications and customer journeys through Oracle Responsys. This increased operational complexity across three business units. Customer, campaign, and advertising data remained fragmented across digital properties, Adobe platforms, and advertising channels. Media files available through Amazon S3 also required a governed integration approach. These gaps limited cross-channel measurement, audience activation, and personalization. 

Solutions Implemented

Successive Digital modernized customer journeys, enabled Adobe-based customer analytics, and designed advertising-data integrations. The client retained complete ownership of its AWS infrastructure, security, access controls, and production operations.
