Feo further discussed the potential of creative technology, particularly in how AI and machine learning could revolutionize content personalization. He cited examples where the same creative content is used indiscriminately across diverse demographics, suggesting a future where creative content adapts and performs well for a variety of audience identities.

For British Petroleum (BP), 2010 has been marked by the unfortunate developments resulting after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20. Since then, BP’s crisis mismanagement and failed attempts to stop the oil spill have transformed this unfortunate event into an ecological disaster with political and financial consequences for the company. The oil leak has caused BP to lose a noticeable number of its American customers, namely their most loyal consumers. Experian Simmons DataStream shows that between April 26 and June 28, 2010 the percentage of American adults who report going to BP fell from 26.4% to 16.4%, a relative loss of 38% of their client base in just nine weeks. More astounding is the fact that BP’s most loyal consumers (those who said that BP is the gas or service station that they go to most often) declined a relative 56% during the same time. In fact, on June 28, 2010, only 9.5% of adults went to BP most often compared with 21.5% who were loyal to BP the week of the spill. With the flow of oil temporarily ceased and nearing a permanent solution, BP may finally be able to cap the flow of bad publicity and to reverse some of their loss in market share. Experian Simmons will continue to monitor this and other important consumer trends and share those findings here.
According to data released by Standard and Poor’s and Experian for S&P/Experian Consumer Credit Default Indices, “default rates nationally fell in May across the board.” Defaulting balances declined among all types of credit lines, including bank card loans, first and second mortgage default rates and auto loans. Further research from Experian Simmons DataStream underscores this trend. Between November 17, 2008 and May 10, 2010, there has been a 15% increase in the share of major credit card holders who report usually paying their credit card balance in full each month. This increase is reflected among both VISA and MasterCard credit card holders, during the same time period. Specifically, the percent of VISA and MasterCard credit card holders who usually pay their credit card balance in full increased by 25% and 17%, respectively. During the later part of 2008 and much of the first half of 2009, MasterCard holders were the more likely to pay their card balance in full each month. Today, however, VISA card holders are the more likely to pay the full amount due. As of May 10, 2010, 42% of VISA card holders usually paid their VISA balance in full compared with 40% of MasterCard holders. American consumers’ attempt to become solvent shows that personal financial responsibility standards are increasing in response to the recent financial crisis.
