Steve Blood at Five9 explores how hyper-personalization, powered by AI and guided by trust and governance, is transforming customer experience, and what your brand needs to do now to stay ahead.
In today’s experience-driven economy, customer expectations are continuously evolving. In our 2025 consumer experience report we learned that 87% of respondents value brands that recognize them and understand their history.
Brand leaders also see the benefit to the business of investing in personalization strategies, slating better return on investment and improved profitability
But we will need to go deeper than just recognizing customers and understanding their history. Hyper-personalization will enable us to create the next level of memorable customer experience.
What is Hyper-Personalization?
Hyper-personalization is the practice of using real-time data, AI, and advanced analytics to deliver uniquely tailored experiences across every customer touchpoint.
These experiences adapt dynamically to a customer’s context, behaviour, preferences, as well as intent. Executed well, businesses will be able to address a customer’s need even before they reach out.
To achieve this level of customization, businesses will need to continuously ingest a huge amount of personal data and process it to drive personalized outcomes.
Enabling unique experiences with this level of granularity is only possible with the power of AI and machine learning.
These are capabilities that make this level of precision feasible without adding significantly to operating costs. The good news is that today we have the technologies to make this happen, and at scale.
Why Hyper-Personalization Matters in Customer Experience
Hyper-personalization matters because tailoring experiences to individual needs reduces friction, increases satisfaction, and builds stronger emotional connections.
At a time when customers expect immediacy and relevance, hyper-personalization will help brands stand out by showing they truly understand and value each customer. Beyond selling, it’s about creating trust, loyalty, and long-term relationships through experiences that are unique.
This principle spans all the phases of a customer journey, but from a loyalty and retention perspective a customer’s experience in service and support will likely determine whether they grow as a customer and become advocates or leave for a competitor.
Our 2025 customer experience report reminds us that 40% of customers will leave a brand after just one poor service experience.
Customers’ needs, preferences, and emotional states change depending on context: the time of day, device being used, recent experiences, external events.
Uniquely tailoring an experience based on all these factors demands a delicate balance of ingesting intimate data insights to inform and influence an outcome but without appearing to impose on customer confidentiality.
Why AI Trust & Governance Is Critical to CX
To deliver hyper-personalized experiences, businesses must harness sensitive customer data – and that comes with responsibility.
AI trust and governance means establishing the right controls, guardrails, and monitoring mechanisms to ensure AI behaves ethically, securely, and predictably.
Without that foundation, brands risk violating customer trust – undermining the very experiences they’re working so hard to enhance.
