Industry Veterans Launch Atlaas, Customer Data & Advisory Firm
Atlaas helps brands identify customer values and expectations, and then drive sustainable growth by aligning departments, processes, and initiatives to anticipate and meet those expectations.
New York, NY, February 02, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Customer strategy and technology veterans, Dave Frankland, Carl Doty, Tim Myers, and Mike Giambattista announced today the launch of customer data and advisory firm, Atlaas.
“Historically, alignment with customer expectations is the single strongest indicator of brand success within a category,” said Mike Giambattista, Managing Director of Atlaas. “By activating 25 years of proprietary consumer sentiment data from more than a million American consumers, across thousands of brands and hundreds of categories, Atlaas can do something that, up until now, has been painfully elusive. Atlaas can provide organizations with an understanding of why their customers do what they do – and then build a detailed roadmap to move them into congruency with their customers’ values, expectations and purchase intent.”
According to Giambattista, “Organizations don’t need another customer-centric initiative - they need to reorient their existing programs and martech investments toward a company-wide goal of adapting to today’s entitled consumers. Atlaas helps organizations that are drowning in data but starving for insights, to identify and eliminate the blind spots in their customer-facing operations.”
Atlaas goes beyond optimizing for individual customer metrics (e.g., CSAT, NPS, CLV) - which are critically important but not necessarily directional - and which often create inefficiencies because they operate with separate goals within separate silos. Instead, Atlaas’ “Expectation Topography” provides a strategic north star that aligns all of the customer-facing initiatives in the same direction.
Atlaas’ directional guidance is based on the “Customer Design Thinking” methodology, which aligns traditionally siloed disciplines, such as customer experience, brand loyalty, customer relationship management, consumer psychology, and behavioral economics. The framework delivers a strategic roadmap informing all of the people, processes, data, and technologies contributing to an organization’s customer strategy.
Atlaas’ founders, industry experts in marketing technology and services, include:
