Companies have always been focused on the customer experience, but with the ever-changing landscape of how information is consumed, they have to react faster and provide more impactful interactions. Today's consumers expect businesses to communicate with them on the channels they prefer. This means messaging customers on the channels that provide straightforward and/or media-rich features. Savvy companies know that SMS is the messaging leader, but that MMS and other OTT channels, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Viber, provide a more engaging experience. They think about their overall messaging goals and as a big-picture concept. Join Sheri Atienza, Product Marketing Manager at Nexmo, in this webinar examining how messaging solutions can be the power behind your 2019 messaging strategy. You’ll learn how to customize your messages to both the audience and the medium, and how easy this can be with Nexmo.

The Internet has created radical changes in our personal lives. We now live in a “consumerized” online world where we shop for products and services with a few taps on a smartphone.

We expect the web to be automated, on demand, and always on – delivering instant gratification no matter where we are.

For decades, organizations relied on traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS) to organize, store, and analyze their data. But then Facebook came along, and an RDBMS was suddenly not quite enough. The social giant needed a powerful database solution for its Inbox Search feature, and Apache Cassandra—a distributed NoSQL database—was born. Released as an open source project in July 2008, Cassandra—named after the mythological prophet who famously put a curse on an oracle—became an Apache Incubator project in March 2009. It graduated to a top-level project in February 2010

When Facebook released their bot feature, M, the virtual assistant living inside their Messenger platform, it was billed as the next generation of how people connect and interact with the internet. Since then, over 18,000 companies have created their own branded chatbots with the help of Facebook’s platform. Never ones to miss out on a trend, Microsoft, Google and Apple have all been hard at work developing their own integrated chatbot features. Brands of all shapes and sizes, from American Express to 1800-Flowers to Domino’s Pizza, all have their own chatbots, proving the versatility of the concept. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said at the 2016 Build conference, “As an industry, we are on the cusp of a new frontier that pairs the power of natural human language with advanced machine intelligence.”

The program targets recent Cox website visitors on Facebook and delivers them a relevant video ad with offers related to products and services they had viewed on Cox.com. The program leverages SundaySky’s SmartVideo platform to achieve Cox’s online revenue goals of maximizing the number of revenue-generating orders on its website while also lowering the cost per acquisition (CPA) as the program optimizes.
