Darrell Sansom became Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of AXA UK in April 2017.

Beyond personalisation - The challenges of contextual marketing
The amount of available information about customers continues to grow and now includes real-time information such as current location and intention data. Some companies are using this information to tailor marketing messages not just to an individual’s preferences and personality but to the precise context they find themselves in at any given time. While this contextual marketing presents opportunities to satisfy customers’ desire for relevance, it also magnifies the risk of abuse and intrusion and presents operational challenges that marketers are only just beginning to explore.
