International software company Sprinklr has announced an expanded strategic partnership with creative transformation firm WPP. The collaboration aims to utilise artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate personalised customer experience management solutions for global brands. The partnership is expected to contribute to the evolution of customer engagement in corporations.
Sprinklr's unified customer experience management platform (Unified-CXM) gives enterprises a more comprehensive view of data, which can shape insights and analytics. Currently, more than 1,400 brands – many of which are large clients of WPP, utilise Sprinklr's platform.
WPP will have the distinguished honour of becoming Sprinklr's first global agency partner. This partnership will see the development of a new offering, CX Live AI. The offering will connect Sprinklr's AI+ platform, incorporating the company's proprietary AI models and generative AI capabilities, with WPP's AI resources. The primary objective of CX Live AI will be to aid WPP teams in building optimised content geared towards the target audiences.
The collaboration is already fostering innovative solutions with selected clients such as The Coca-Cola Company. Here, teams have been using AI insights centred on customer engagement to shape creative development and channel selection.
Additionally, the partnership will involve sharing data and analytics and developing solutions for joint clients. WPP will benefit from priority support, including exclusive enablement programmes and early access to new products and platform features from Sprinklr.
Moreover, WPP's role in the partnership will extend to becoming a participant in Sprinklr's Partner Advisory Board. This participation will aid in shaping the roadmap for future products.
