  1. Customer

    A global quick-service restaurant brand portfolio. Loyalty and offers have to feel local to each brand’s guests, and still compound as shared customer intelligence across the estate.

  2. Challenge

    Drive loyalty through real-time offers across in-store experience, app, and campaigns—without collapsing brand and CMO autonomy into one marketing monoculture.

    Enriched insight had to travel as shared products and features, not as a mandate that every brand surrender its voice.

  3. Work

    Built a unified data hub on Databricks, Confluent, and Kafka Connect. Stood up a feature store for high-cardinality user attributes. Published golden data products—Customer 360, Product, and Campaign Performance—and propensity modelling across the brand / product / regional portfolio.

    Ingested clickstream across properties and Google Analytics. Reverse ETL into Braze and other activation systems so offers could fire in-store, in-app, and in campaigns from the same hub.

  4. Impact

    1. Networked customer intelligence across brands with brand & CMO autonomy preserved
    2. Real-time loyalty offers on in-store, app, and campaign surfaces
    3. Golden products (Customer 360, Product, Campaign Performance) + high-cardinality feature store
    4. Propensity across brand / product / region; Reverse ETL to Braze and activation partners
