The Important Role Of Empathy In Marketing Strategy & Messaging

B2B Marketing Exchange

Research shows that 90% of consumers expect brands to display empathy with them through the brand’s messaging, while 97% of customers say empathy is the most important element in customer engagement. So why is empathy still widely perceived as a soft skill rather than the superpower that it is and the role it plays in creating successful brands?
