Understanding your customer: authentic brand communication w/ Drew D’Agostino & Touseef Mirza

Can we understand someone through their writing style and social media profile? What do we mean by human-centered communication? Is it cool or creepy when a brand knows exactly what their customer wants? In this episode of IBM thinkLeaders podcast, we are joined by guests Drew D’Agostino (CEO of Crystal) & Touseef Mirza (CoFounder, CoreConnect Conference and Adjunct Professor, NYU). We talk to Drew and Touseef about connecting to customers on a visceral level, the importance of empathy, how to build trust in a relationship, being mindful of algorithmic bias, and so much more!
