Why Personalization in Webinars Matters
Ever sat through a webinar that felt like watching paint dry? You’re not alone. In a world where attention spans slide faster than butter on toast, you need more than slides and a Q&A to win hearts. You need a personalized buyer journey.
A buyer today expects a tailor-made path:
- Content that speaks directly to their needs.
- Follow-ups that feel human, not robotic.
- Fresh insights, not recycled fluff.
ON24’s Intelligent Engagement Platform ticks many boxes: personalisation at scale, continuous engagement, connected insights. But is it enough to truly craft a personalized buyer journey? Let’s find out.
ON24: Strengths and Shortcomings
ON24 has earned its stripes. Here’s what it does well:
- Personalisation at scale.
- Always-on AI-generated content.
- Detailed engagement heatmaps.
- Easy repurposing of long-form into bite-sized assets.
Helpful. Impressive. Yet… some SMEs hit walls. Complexity. Cost. Steep learning curves. And once your one-off webinar ends, you still need to fuel the next touchpoint. That’s a gap in the personalized buyer journey.
The Missing Link
ON24 gives you data. But who has time to turn that data into full campaigns, blogs, social posts? Or guide a non-marketer to run it all? You need:
- Automated content workflows.
- Community insights for best practices.
- Real-time visibility across domains.
That’s where CMO.SO steps in.
