Experiences, we all have them. Hundreds of them. They
define our likes, our loves and our lives. Some
experiences are good, some bad, some are even
questionable, but we care about are the valuable ones
because they happen on OUR terms.
How do you create an extraordinary experience as a
brand? Give consumers the content they want when
they want it. In other words, be ON DEMAND.

Defining “On Demand”:
Consumers expect you to be available whenever they want – the instant provision of service, information or entertainment.
Being equipped with the right messaging in the right place when the consumer chooses to engage is being ON DEMAND.
