Marketing Technologies Playing Bigger Role in Customer Acquisition and Experience Management

In order to talk to prospective customers, marketers have to deploy and orchestrate a full suite of digital media to raise brand awareness, drive sales, and retain customers: Novarica

Boston, MA (Apr. 21, 2020) – Insurance companies are increasingly leveraging digital marketing technologies (MarTech) across a range of functions beyond customer acquisition, including customer and distributor experience management in processes from new business to claims. In a new report, MarTech in Insurance, research and advisory firm Novarica explores the full suite of marketing technology solutions that deploy, manage, analyze, and improve digital marketing capabilities for insurance companies across the value chain.

“It has now become possible for insurers to orchestrate and personalize every touchpoint that an agent or customer has with the brand,” said Paul Legutko, VP of Digital Marketing and Analytics, and lead author of Novarica’s new report. “But this requires a real partnership between marketing, distribution, customer experience, analytics, and IT in order to engineer these journeys seamlessly and effectively.”

Report Summary

Adjacent to the systems within the Novarica Core Systems Map are a set of technologies, platforms, and processes that power digital marketing. These solutions have increasingly been integrated into many core systems, requiring some of them (e.g., CRM, workflow, CCM, and customer/agent portals) to factor in the integration and enablement of digital marketing capabilities from the outset.

This report identifies key digital marketing systems for insurers and breaks down each type of system into its individual components.

Among the key findings of the report are:

  • Many MarTech components are extensions of existing core systems. Digital analytics, digital content management, data management platforms, and public websites are areas where existing systems can be leveraged and extended.
  • Increased specialization is competing with single-platform solutions. The MarTech landscape is comprised of a growing number of technologies focused on solving specific challenges within the insurance industry.
  • “Digital marketing” is becoming just “marketing.” The digitization of offline media is causing all marketing activity to be managed by digital technologies.
