Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Marketing coordinator manually creates segments in ESP by uploading CSV files (e.g., 'Purchased in last 30 days'). 2. Segments static and not updated as customer behavior changes. 3. List hygiene performed quarterly: remove hard bounces manually. 4. Limited to 5-10 pre-defined segments due to operational complexity. 5. Segment definitions inconsistent across campaigns and teams.

Future State
(Agentic)1. Segmentation Agent continuously builds and maintains dynamic segments using CDP data: behavioral triggers (cart abandoners, category browsers), lifecycle stage (new, active, at-risk, churned), predicted propensity (likely to convert, upsell candidates), engagement level (highly engaged, dormant). 2. List Hygiene Agent automatically suppresses: hard bounces, spam traps, chronic non-openers (180+ days), complainers and unsubscribes. 3. Segments update in real-time as customer behavior changes. 4. Agent recommends new segment opportunities based on campaign performance.
