Regional Deep Dive: Customer Engagement Transformation in Latin America

Unlocking Growth Through Tailored Customer Engagement

Latin America is a region defined by its diversity—of cultures, languages, economies, and digital maturity. For organizations operating in this dynamic environment, transforming customer engagement is not just about adopting global best practices, but about adapting them to local realities. At Publicis Sapient, we understand that true transformation in Latin America requires a nuanced approach—one that leverages data, personalization, and digital identity to create meaningful connections and drive sustainable growth.

The Latin American Opportunity: Unique Market Dynamics

Latin America’s digital landscape is evolving rapidly. Consumers are increasingly mobile-first, social media engagement is among the highest in the world, and expectations for personalized, seamless experiences are rising. Yet, the region also presents unique challenges: regulatory complexity, fragmented data ecosystems, and varying levels of digital infrastructure across countries. Success in this environment demands more than technology—it requires a deep understanding of local consumer behavior, regulatory requirements, and the ability to orchestrate customer engagement across diverse channels and touchpoints.

Data-Driven Transformation: The Falabella Group Story

A leading example of customer engagement transformation in Latin America is the journey of Falabella Group, a major retailer and financial services provider. Facing the challenge of siloed data and the need for more effective marketing, Falabella partnered with Publicis Sapient to build a robust Customer Data Platform (CDP). This platform unified customer data across business units and countries, enabling a 360-degree view of each customer.

The impact was immediate and measurable:

With deeper customer insights, Falabella is now able to personalize experiences, increase revenues, and reduce churn. The company is on its way to becoming a true algorithmic retailer, with plans to extend its data-driven culture across the organization—fueling growth and profitability.
