Personalization Thought Leadership Award Winner

This award recognizes the home & living eCommerce giant for its ability to deliver highly curated experiences through a well-structured product feed that ensures optimal algorithm performance (based on past purchase behavior and user affinity) within recommendation widgets across the homepage, PDPs, as well as over email. Not to mention its use of dynamic content to replace static web components, like hero banners.
We give the Thought Leadership Award to those who not only demonstrate exceptional overall expertise in the implementation of experimentation and personalization but also elevate others through sharing knowledge and insights that push the rest of the industry forward.
