Together, they explore how listening, context, and authenticity shape memorable interactions in modern retail.Guest Quotes“One of our first focuses was taking stock of what was working and what wasn't. And in our CRM programs, when we looked at them, we believed we could actually get more by sending less, which was maybe counterintuitive at first, but in fact, we have. And so it used to be that it was Tuesday and so everybody got the coats email, and now we are much more attentive to where you are in your journey. So if you recently bought something at home, for example, we wanna be talking to you about how do you style it and how do you complete that room. And that becomes our priority over talking to you about the fact that it happens to be Tuesday.”Episode Breakdown[01:42] Alchemy Unveiled: Rewiring Around the Customer[14:13] From Nuggets to Campaign Gold: Power of Iconic Moments[21:00] Gold Rush Round: Bennett’s Bumper Sticker WisdomLinks & Resources:Links & Resources:Connect with Kathryn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathrynturnoff/Connect with Bennett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bennettglassman/?skipRedirect=true Learn more about Macy’s: https://www.linkedin.com/company/macy/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
