Introduction
• Need for data to give a consistent, complete picture of the customer – Data can be too fragmented across your organisation– Too much data preparation for analysts– Results cannot be easily translated to other products.
• Need for better integration of analysis into the business• Even the best analyses are useless unless they are used.• Analyses can have limited lifespan if not adjusted for the
needs of your organisation and the changing habits of your customers.

Data, Information, Knowledge
• Data• Bits of unorganized and unprocessed facts • Data is a prerequisite to information.
• Information • Information can be considered as an aggregation of data• Information has usually got some meaning and purpose.
• Knowledge • What resides in the minds of people in your organisation. • Used to transform data into information.
• Knowledge is derived from information in the same way information is derived from data.
Knowledge Management (KM)
• Cannot define knowledge
• KM is different from Information Management
• The function of KM is to create a shared knowledge context.
• Varies from org to org
• Requires a cultural change.
• KM is what you put into place to deliver value from your knowledge.

BAU Targeting, Bespoke Models and Analysis
• All our analysts are focused on the customer and what drives them. The team wants to ensure we are continually building and enhancing our single view of the customer.– This view needs to be readily available for all analyses, reports,
models, campaigns, etc…
• Same data can feed into our communication management framework – Capture data about interaction – Use relevant customer data to drive the message/offer
• Analysis data combined with customer interactions maximises our understanding of what drives the customer and ensures relevance of communications

LNZL had been doing only RFM segmentations on a participant basis. Simply, yet effective.
We wanted a more mass customised segmentation (like Mosaic), but we did not want to use traditional demographic data.
The key objective was to build a lifestyle based segmentation that is equally applicable for all Fly Buys participants, rather than focused on any particular participant or type of participant.
Using our Customer Lifestyle Surveys undertaken by Loyalty NZ over the past two years with 50,000 respondents in each survey, CI team developed knowledgeCUBE segmentation.
• Enables CI team and our participants to move beyond the standard geo/income dominated segmentations – provide an understanding into what makes the people tick.
This was a risky approach because it could have meant that we have segments that do not correlate with behaviours that we measure. However, it has worked spectacularly well.

Earlier in September LNZL won the international Direct Mail (DM) Award for the industry leading Fly Buys Point Summary mailing.
Publicis Singapore and Jon McKenzie, Digital Creative Director Leo Burnett, commented ‘that the new look loyalty statement showed that with great design thinking and an underpinning data strategy, this communication represented – best in class. It was the stand-out entry in what is a hotly contested category’
The underpinning data strategy is in fact driven by Gatekeeper in being able to allocate 175 different messages for 750,000 customers. This is over 600 trillion variations!
The CI team will continue to evolve the Gatekeeper to handle more sophisticated simultaneous optimisation criteria. A great example product that does this type of optimisation is the SAS Marketing Optimisation.
Industry Recognition for Loyalty NZ
The CI team now runs 10 campaigns in a week for our participants.• Half of these have had models or segments applied to them. • We are on track to do over 500 campaigns by 31-March-2011.
The team offers over 20 analytical products, from simple reports to profiles, to maps and even SKU-based models.
Continuing to broaden the scope of our thinking to think about the customer from a single view. Contact strategy and strategic segments are being refined for 2011…
Knowledge management framework for realising synergies across analyses. Layering our data and insights onto our common frameworks in order to continually understand what drives our customers.
And this is just the beginning...
