🔊 Sprinklr to partner with Quora

Plus, Instagram Reels get Shopping Tags. Dec 11, 2020 Good morning, Marketer, and AirBnB confounds my expectations, at least. But what do I know? I’m not an investor. I just had some trepidation about the disruptive unicorn’s IPO given what happened to the IPOs for the disruptive WeWork, and the equally disruptive, what-me-turn-a-profit? Uber. “Fiasco” was a term used to describe those efforts. Nevertheless, AirBnB stock opened yesterday at $146, a healthy climb on its final IPO price of $68 per share. This pushed the brand’s market capitalization over the $100 billion mark. Of course, DoorDash, the delivery service, did almost as well earlier this week. But think: 2020 has been the year of home delivery, a trend which might well outlive the pandemic. It has not been the year of traveling and staying places. And even in the days when we did those things, AirBnB was losing money. It just [lost more this year](. Like I said, what do I know? I guess my advice from the perspective of brand development is, sure, go out there and be as crazy disruptive as you like. There may be gold at the end of the rainbow. Or not. Kim DavisEditorial Director DAM The importance of governance for digital asset management Central to digital asset management, or DAM, is the tagging of assets so that they can be readily retrieved — something of critical importance for extensive libraries of text, images and video. But random tagging by a multiplicity of users doesn’t get the job done: tagging needs to be done consistently, and according to a taxonomy, a hierarchical classification scheme. If you’re a library user, think of the Dewey Decimal System; but unlike public libraries, there’s no one-size-fits-all taxonomy which will serve the needs of retailers, healthcare, finance, scientific organizations, or sport associations. In [a recent episode]( of MarTech Live, we spoke with Paul Murphy, responsible for the vast library of digital image assets at the Union of European Football Associations. How does UEFA approach tagging photos when so many different photographers are involved for so many different reasons. It’s about governance. [Read more here](.

But, ultimately, the definition of the perfect journey is in the eye of the buyer. The buyer doesn’t really care about your programs, your channels or what technologies you’re using, they’re just trying to get enough information to make a purchase decision. We recently spoke to Integrate CMO Deb Wolf about the perfect buyer’s journey and the obstacles marketing teams face when trying to deliver the ideal customer experience. In the lightly-edited conversation, Wolf shares specific tips for building connections between siloed channels, technologies and teams, as well as the reasons why this is so important today.
