Description
CRM automation has transformed marketing — enabling personalisation at scale, real-time journeys, and seamless customer contact.
But it has also created a new problem: marketing without thinking.
Too many CRM programmes have become mechanical, repetitive, and disconnected from real customer needs.
This course is designed to help marketers reclaim strategy, creativity, and customer focus in an age of automation.
Across six practical modules, you’ll learn how to use CRM automation as a strategic tool — not a substitute for marketing thinking. You’ll uncover the hidden pitfalls of over-automation, understand how to build connected customer journeys, and learn to balance data-driven precision with human insight and imagination.
Through real-world examples, research evidence, and proven frameworks, you’ll discover how to make automation truly work for both your brand and your customers.

The difference between workflows and customer journeys, and how to design experiences that feel joined up
How to combine predictive data analytics with customer research to create richer insight
