With the current state of technology companies can go beyond just drawing in customers and communicating brand messages or offers and in fact can look at engaging customers in a meaningful way.

To provide solutions tailored to such needs, marketing agencies are having to look at unexplored and innovative ways to engage customers across multiple touchpoints, after all gone are the days when digital solutions meant access only through a desktop or a laptop connected to the internet. Today, we have customers interacting with a slew of devices ranging from mobile phones to fitness bands all of which have a direct or indirect connection to the internet making all of them a possible device for interaction.
