Our Clients’ Success in Customized Marketing
Fabriq Personalization AI by BCG X has unlocked personalized marketing solutions for companies in a variety of industries, including retail, health care, travel, insurance, and financial services. Here are some examples:
We deployed Fabriq Personalization AI by BCG X to help a global B2B food service distributor improve customer experiences—and drive top-line growth—through personalization. An initial wave of multiple use cases (including direct-to-customer offers and order prediction and suggestions) sparked $1 billion in incremental sales. Crucially, BCG’s experts looked beyond the algorithms. Feedback from customers and field sales teams helped us improve the analytics models and zero in on high-priority features. Coaching, new sales processes, and new ways of working will help ensure sustained impact.
For a health plan, customized marketing was the key to simultaneously enhancing experiences, controlling costs, and improving care quality. Using Fabriq Personalization AI by BCG X, we launched more than 100 initiatives, including care nudges to flag health screenings and next-best actions to reduce surprise billing. For example, Fabriq Personalization AI made it possible to suggest when a member should check preferred labs for an upcoming visit or confirm drug coverage before heading to the pharmacy. Early returns include a 39% increase in email open rates, an 83% jump in new account creation, and—with a 19% rise in net promoter score—higher member satisfaction.
