Personalization Strategist
Use the Personalization Strategist in Optimizely Opal to turn audience and behavioral signals into personalized campaigns, from opportunity to post-launch monitoring. It identifies opportunities, designs and builds each campaign in Optimizely Personalization for your review, and monitors performance after launch.
What the Personalization Strategist does
The Personalization Strategist includes the following jobs:
- Identify personalization opportunities – Uses audience behavior, analytics, campaign history, and program context to find and prioritize personalization opportunities. It gives your next campaign evidence and a clear reason to act.
- Design personalization campaign plan – Turns the selected opportunity into a complete campaign plan. The plan defines the audience, personalized experiences, targeting, goals, measurement, and approval requirements.
- Build personalization campaign – Takes the approved plan and builds the audiences, experiences, targeting, and measurement in Optimizely Personalization. It stages everything for you to review.
- Monitor campaign performance – Monitors active campaigns for performance changes, audience responses, emerging learnings, and signs that something needs attention. It turns those signals into clear recommendations.
- Personalization impact overview – Analyzes personalization performance to show the overall impact you are making against the KPIs that matter, how results are trending over time, and where performance is gaining or losing momentum.
- Build assisted campaign – Helps you build a personalization campaign from your own idea. It guides the audience, experiences, targeting, measurement, and implementation to get it ready for review.
Each job is a workflow agent that performs on a schedule or trigger. Opal displays only the jobs an administrator turns on for your organization.

How you receive its work
The Personalization Strategist stages each campaign plan and build in Optimizely Personalization for your review before launch. It delivers opportunities, recommendations, and performance summaries to you in a message. It acts only after you approve.
Configure the Personalization Strategist
