In 2020, Nike ran a campaign during global lockd
In 2023, Spotify revealed that over 80% of user playtime comes from algorithmically recommended music — not from playlists users created themselves.
The app didn’t wait for users to search.
It predicted what they’d want next.
That is predictive personalization:
Understanding you
Before you understand what you want
The best personalization doesn’t ask — it already knows.
Predictive personalization turns:
Casual visitors → engaged users
Engaged users → loyal customers
Loyal customers → advocates own:
“Play inside, play for the world.”
It wasn’t about selling shoes.
It was about supporting humanity.
And the outcome?
Massive global engagement
Millions of user-generated stories
Brand love at its highest point in the decade
Storytelling didn’t sell a product —
it strengthened a relationship.
Today, you don’t win because you’re the best option.
You win because you’re the brand that feels the most meaningful.
