Market Report | The Personalisation Paradox: The State of Marketing Personalisation 2026

"The organisations that succeed will not necessarily be those with the largest budgets or the most advanced AI. They will be those that earn customer trust while consistently delivering experiences that feel relevant, timely, and genuinely valuable."

As AI continues to reshape personalisation, the organisations seeing the greatest success aren't simply investing in new technology; they're building the foundations that allow personalisation to earn trust while still delivering commercial value.

In this exclusive market report, we hear from top marketing leaders:

  • David Balko, Chief Marketing Officer at Wren Kitchens
  • Virginie Faucon, Chief Marketing Officer at AXA Health International
  • Haleema Ali, Head of B2B Marketing at ManpowerGroup
  • Andy Sage, Strategic Propositions & Partnership Lead at E.ON Next
