Cuisinart Selects Optimizely to Accelerate Digital Transformation

To ensure a fast, successful transition to online selling, Cuisinart saw the need for a robust digital platform capable of addressing evolving business needs and customer expectations.

NEW YORK, October 18, 2021 – Today, Optimizely, leading provider of digital experience platform solutions, announced their Digital Experience Platform (DXP) offering was selected by leading kitchenware brand Cuisinart to support their digital transformation.
To ensure a fast, successful transition to online selling, Cuisinart saw the need for a robust digital platform capable of addressing evolving business needs and customer expectations. Built by digital agency Whereoware, the new Optimizely website advances Cuisinart’s long-term goals for digital transformation, customer journey optimization, and direct-to-consumer sales.

Optimizely’s DXP, with powerful commerce personalization capabilities and rich integration possibilities, enabled Cuisinart to build an award-winning ecommerce site and deliver highly personalized digital experiences. The company fully deployed a direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecommerce channel that meets modern standards and consumer expectations, while maintaining relationships with retail partners.

“We’re pleased to help our Platinum Partner Whereoware and their long-time client, Cuisinart, deliver excellent customer experiences supporting Cuisinart’s digital transformation journey.” said Justin Anovick, Chief Product Officer of Optimizely. “Our expertise in providing digital experiences will help Cuisinart unlock their potential and continue their long-standing history of meeting customer expectations.”

Optimizely’s DXP solution has proven to be effective in simplifying Cuisinart’s digital transformation journey, allowing the company to replatform their website in record time. “It’s heavily data-driven, with over a dozen complex integrations,” said Mary Rodger, Director of Marketing Communications at Cuisinart, “and Whereoware successfully completed the project in just six months.”

Cuisinart’s new website is designed to ensure a smooth user experience on any device, and with Optimizely’s DXP, provides marketers full control of their product data and SEO. This enabled Cuisinart to deliver seamless, sophisticated online shopping experiences that led to them winning a Gold MarCom Award in the Digital Media – Website category.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
