Customer engagement platforms like Braze are critical in today's marketing stack, enabling brands to engage with customers uniquely without being too salesy. With the new release of GPT columns in Census, Braze can be made even more powerful by bringing in external API data for complete control. Enriching customer profiles with AI enhancements allows for more segmentation criteria, such as assigning personas based on job titles or triggering cross-channel messaging to increase activation and subscription rates. Personalized nurture emails can drive conversion and retention by analyzing user interactions and suggesting content they may be interested in. Highly-targeted messaging can expand accounts by surfacing items customers will most likely purchase based on their behavior, and ultimately, Braze becomes a customer engagement powerhouse when connected to first-party data and enriched with GPT.
