Chelsea says three things are needed for an always-on strategy: 1. Proprietary data- based strategies for growth personalized and Interactive with individual pieces of content. 2. Standardization metrics to measure to assess how effective your strategy is in achieving your goals. 3. AI and massive amounts of customer data to scale and optimize strategy impact.
