Customers are smart. They know when personalization is shallow and just like a dynamic field substitution, but they also can instinctively sense when brands overreach or they mishandle data and that leads to far graver consequences. Opt-outs, people just churning off of your brand or just completely blocking ads. And that just kills personalization right out the source.
What does Phyllis Fang say on The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström?
Phyllis Fang, Head of Marketing, Transcend, says: This interview with Phyllis Fang, Head of Marketing at Transcend, explores the personalization paradox: AI enables precise one-to-one experiences even as data access is constrained by privacy, regulation, and consumer skepticism. Fang outlines practical steps—auditing shadow data, redefining the value exchange with tangible utility, reframing privacy as a growth enabler, and fostering cross-functional collaboration—to build trustworthy, consent-driven personalization that scales responsibly.
