In this video Stefan Wenzel warns against the common reaction of sharply cutting performance‑marketing and new‑customer acquisition during economic crises. He argues that many companies lack the data infrastructure to understand the health of existing customer cohorts, historic and forecasted customer value, and therefore cannot effectively influence those customers. Traditional CRM email‑marketing alone will not generate rapid leverage; advanced programmatic capabilities are required. Halting acquisition creates a future gap in the customer base that must be filled later, often at higher cost. Likewise, reducing brand marketing is dangerous because brand presence drives revenue in the post‑crisis period; disappearing from the target audience’s mind reduces relevance. Wenzel advocates a measured, dual‑handed approach: continue a calibrated level of acquisition to offset churn while investing in data‑driven retention and brand activities. He calls for immediate action on improving CRM data and programmatic tools, noting that another crisis will inevitably arrive. The discussion will be expanded at the 11th K5 conference in Berlin on 20‑21 June, where industry leaders, speakers, and vendors will gather. Ticket information and a discount voucher are offered.
