Key Learning

Automation wins when it amplifies personalization, not when it replaces it

Every automated message we launched was tethered to live customer behaviour. Dynamic segments, product affinity scoring, and send-time AI meant that "automated" still felt bespoke—and that human touch is what drove the 180% lift in revenue.
