The brief
PizzaExpress set two challenges as part of the pitch process. The first was CRM: how to make every customer interaction feel more personal. That meant looking at everything from data strategy and segmentation through to e-mail design, creative and delivery. The goal? To create fully automated journeys tailored to each customer, whether that’s a family celebration, a regular lunch spot, or meeting specific dietary needs.
The second challenge was performance media. PizzaExpress wanted a partner who could build a smart, effective strategy across both performance and digital innovation. That included developing a plan to deliver immediate impact, rethinking channel mix, using technology to make creative work harder, and pushing analytics and measurement further.
Why Jaywing?
Jaywing stood out because of our unique ability to bring CRM and media together through integrated audience data. PizzaExpress were impressed not only by our team’s expertise in delivering personalised customer experiences, but also by the strong cultural fit and the sense of energy between our two teams from the start.
A partnership focused on growth
The partnership is built around clear goals; bringing data, creativity and personalisation together to co-create market leading campaigns that drive real growth to what is already PizzaExpress’ digital powerhouse.
Jonny Sycamore, Chief Customer Officer at Jaywing, said:
