The Person in Personalisation

As both practitioners of personalisation and victims of it, it is the person in personalisation that has been lost. The titans of the personalisation industry have commercially defined what personalisation should be for us all without realising what it takes to make a relationship work—a personal touch. 

This book explores why. And if it can change

As ecommerce professionals, we’re living in an era where data and insight have the potential to transform how we connect with our visitors.

We’ve been saying this for years. Using terms like customer-centricity, data-driven and even the dreaded P-word: “personalisation”.

Yet, each year, it feels like we get no closer. We are stuck in an entrenched way of selling that does not align with how people actually buy.

At Made With Intent, we’re on a mission to give you the data and delivery system you need to guide each visitor to purchase. Appropriately. In the most impactful way for them.

If you’re interested in using intent to improve your ecommerce experiences, or just curious about the world of data-driven growth, I’d love to connect.

Announcing our fourth keynote at Intent in a Tent, Aron Gelbard co-founder of Bloom & Wild. It turns out “being nice” is a growth strategy, and he has the data to prove it. ⛺️

On February 24th, you're invited to listen to Aron talking about Caring Wildly. A growth lever brands often overlook when prioritising the immediate and overly transactional.

He'll share his story about how empathy and generosity gave one of the UK’s most loved brands its competitive edge. And it goes far beyond just saying you're customer-first in a boardroom. We've all heard that one.

It’s about how Bloom & Wild measure care, right down to repeat rates, market share, and lifetime value. How they use it to grow while everyone else chases the transactional measures (hello conversion rate, I see you)

If you’ve ever wondered whether playing the long game pays, this is your answer.

He joins a lineup including the founders of The Inkey List and SURI, plus special guests from Formula 1 and Liverpool FC, all sharing ways to find the value others overlook.

Founder and CEO, Made With Intent - Real-Time Intent for Online Retail

⛺️ Announcing our third keynote for Intent in a Tent. One of Formula 1s top race strategists, shaping winning moments for Ferrari, Haas Automation, Inc. and Sauber.

Meet Ruth Buscombe 🏁

Intent in a tent is a 350-person eCommerce event about finding value that others overlook. Those moments that matter and responding to them, there and then. (Apply for a ticket for February 24th, 2026)

Her talk, “When Strategy Meets Reality”, is all about that. How to adapt and react in the moment; in both F1 and ecommerce.

Because races are won or lost in moments. Nothing says 1% increments more than this sport. 

Teams build sophisticated plans. Models. Simulations.

And then the lights go out, chaos takes over, panic ensues and we all end up giving discounts to satisfy a poor trading period. 😂

How do you have the courage to change the plan and fast when real-time insight tells you to.

Where do you find the edge in the data?

Ruth will share stories from the pit wall about how split-second decisions can change everything.

A metaphor for what Intent in a Tent is all about:

🔥 Finding value that others overlook
🔭 Spotting the right signals among the noise.
🤯 Turning adaptability into your advantage.

I have a love hate relationship with Disney. And it's that surprising relationship that started Made With Intent. 

I love Disney. The parks, the films, the history, the earnings calls all wrapped up in one warm nostalgia blanket. It means a lot to me. 

But. The shift in how Disney measure their success towards share of wallet, has meant that they've moved away from Walt's original vision of inclusivity. "To all who come to this happy place, welcome" he once said. 

Now its for the top 5% of earners. Disney park ticket prices have grown at a rate nearly nine times that of inflation 💴

A wine-paired prix fixe meal at the Michelin-starred Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian hotel starts at over $1,200 for two.

Fast passes costs up to $30 per person per day, doubling the price of a days ticket for a family of four, giving priority to travelers who book a guide, purchase expensive passes or stay at a Disney property.

Part of it is societal; the middle class has so eroded in size and in purchasing power and the wealth of our top earners has so exploded. But most is greed; short-termist share price manipulation that serve whatever CEO is in charge.  

And that love-hate conflict is a reason why I wanted to create something like Made With Intent. No, really. 

Something that shines a light on the purely short-termist, transactional nature of the eCommerce industry. 

Something that shows there can be a better way to measure and treat those who visit our website, with a balance of long-term LTV and retention. 

Something where experiences and communication isn't thrown in the faces of site visitors desperate for them to buy, but acts in support of their needs; appropriate to their job to be done.  

Our mission at Made With Intent is to change the perspective of ecommerce for the better. For the better of brands, and for the better of those that visit. 

Disney should have a similar mission statement. Thanks for the inspiration Bob (Iger), but something needs to change.

🤔 Weird thing I’m noticing: People trust AI to help them find products more than they trust search engines. But not because it’s more objective, just because it feels more objective.

Spoiler alert: I think that tiny perception shift is about to reshape discovery in ecommerce.

Agentic eCommerce: The Current Consumer View

125 intent-based experiences in 30 days. A new record. 

Four a day. Double what July was already. Our customers are responding to user intent, creating and triggering experiences there and then; intervening to behavioural signals and predictions. 

And it’s not because we’ve suddenly got a tonne more customers (we’ve got more, sure, on our journey). But it’s because they’re doing more with intent.
25% more, in fact.

And that’s what this is really about for us. 

We're changing how brands think about ecommerce at Made With Intent

To do that we aim to democratise the idea of intent and own it. We've spent over 45,000 hours thinking about this one thing. It makes sense to make it accessible, usable, everyday.

It's why we're not enterprise and exclusive. But we are building something for everyone who wants to understand their customer better.

And when I see moments like this, I can’t help but think we’re getting there. 🙌

A lot of brands talk about being “consumer first”. Colette Laxton actually built one that is. The INKEY List | B Corp. So we invited her to keynote and talk about her story at Intent in a tent, February 24th 2026 

️There’s no one better placed to talk about “what happens when you stop following and start listening?" This is a story about flipping the script on the skincare industry.

Before The INKEY List became a $100M rocket ship, Colette noticed something the industry ignored. People were overwhelmed. Confused. Asking real questions that no one wanted to answer.

It’s all about listening and helping, not telling and pushing. 

Sound familiar? It’s customer intent in a bottle. Understanding where the customer is coming from and where they’re at, then responding to those signals.

Collette will be joined by:
🏎️ Ruth Buscombe (ex-Ferrari F1 race strategist) on pit wall adaptability.
⚽️ Ian Graham (ex-Liverpool FC research director) on football data no one else thought to check.
💐 Aron Gelbard (Bloom & Wild) on Caring Wildly.
🪥 Mark Rushmore (SURI) on thinking in increments.

350 of the fastest-growing brands. All in one place (a big tent). All challenging the “more, more, more” mindset of eCommerce.
