Desire & datas: The Customer Experience between Reason and Emotion
How do you find the right balance between what you want, what you can and what you should?
It's the ultimate dilemma. The great drama of the customer, the grail of brands. All the more so today, in a world where every purchasing decision seems to weigh tons - economically, ecologically and socially.
So we collect data. Billions of signals, captured, analysed, modelled. We know everything. Or almost everything. We can predict, personalise and automate. And yet... the question remains: do our customers still want us?
The customer experience, between algorithms and alchemy
We were told that data would help us to understand everything. To be more relevant, more accurate, more efficient. And that's true. But is relevance enough to create desire?
- Quality is no longer enough, it has to be sustainable.
- Originality no longer makes the difference, it has to be committed.
- Loyalty? Outdated. Today, it's attachment that counts.
- And the price? It still has to be right - but one way or the other.
Buying is no longer a simple act of consumption, it's become a choice. Sometimes even a manifesto. And in the face of all this complexity, one thing is clear: the greatest pleasure in the customer experience is when it disappears. When everything runs smoothly. When the customer journey is so smooth that you forget about it. When the experience can't be seen or felt, but leaves an imprint.
Navigating between science and magic: the challenge for brands
So what do we do?
- How do we transform data insights into emotion, into a connection, into a real relationship?
- How far can we go with hyper-personalisation before we become... creepy?
- What role can AI play in this alchemy between automation and human creativity?
- Faced with ultra-solicited consumers, how can we emerge as something other than just another promotion?
Welcome to this new era, where desire has changed tack and transparency has become a requirement.
If you're looking for answers - or even just better questions - head to Biarritz for the 11ᵉ edition of One to One IA x Experience Client. I promise, you'll find your future partners there.
Desire & Datas, that's the promise of One to One for 2025.

Opening conference
Part 1: AI Trends, Digital Marketing & Customer Experience
In 2025, generative AI is no longer just the talk of the town: it is profoundly transforming marketing, customer experience and organisations. Automation, hyper-personalisation, conversational agents... which brands are really taking the lead, and with what results? In a more regulated landscape, where ethics and transparency are becoming strategic, how can we combine performance and responsibility? Thomas Husson, VP & Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, will open the session by unveiling the latest trends from the firm's research to decipher the major changes at work.- With : Thomas Husson, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Part 2: Designing the invisible, bringing reason and emotion into dialogue
How can we create experiences that go beyond functionality to touch the heart? An internationally renowned designer, Mathieu Lehanneur creates objects and spaces that lie at the intersection of science, engineering and human emotion. From connected design to poetic works inspired by nature and invisible flows (air, sound, light, data), he constantly explores the tension between rationality and sensitivity.
Hosted by : Matthieu Stefani, Podcast creator, Generation Do It Yourself

Closing conference
IA et transformation : garder le cap dans l'incertitude
AI is not only revolutionising our tools: it is reshaping decision-making, customer experience and business practices. In a context of acceleration and multiple constraints, one thing is clear: we can no longer operate as we did before. This two-part plenary session offers a clear and actionable roadmap for reconciling speed of execution, corporate culture and value creation.
- Part 1 · ‘Reality check from the AI factory’ (Salime Nassur, Founder & CEO of Maars, former CMO of Google Cloud)
Salime Nassur opens the session by setting out the essential benchmarks for scaling up from POC: architecture (data, cloud, LLM), governance and security to avoid shadow AI, sovereignty/pragmatism trade-offs, and ROI metrics that really matter. A frank, execution-oriented assessment to help you make quick decisions... without sacrificing safeguards.
- Part 2 · “Culture, vision, technology: aligning for sustainability” (Grégory Sion, Managing Director, P&V · Mélissa Levaillant, Futurist, Co-founder, SELDON Conseil)
Fieldwork and strategic consulting: how to transform a tourism group undergoing reinvention while embedding AI into its practices? Personalised experiences, revenue & capacity management, augmented operations, data-driven organisation, skills development... How can we stay on course in a changing world, with shifting resources and imaginations? The speakers share concrete trade-offs between the long term (strategic direction, culture, ethics) and short-term imperatives (deliver, measure, iterate). Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Keynotes

Amazon Ads Keynote | Captivate without interrupting: Amazon Ads, building strong brands beyond the product
In a world where attention has become a scarce resource, brands must reinvent themselves more than ever to create value, stand out in premium environments, and build an authentic connection with their audiences.
Amazon Ads invites you to explore new frontiers in media strategy, where data, storytelling, and innovation come together to shape brand communication that is stronger and fully measurable. The session will be illustrated with insights from an emblematic brand: AXA, which leverages societal engagement as a powerful communication driver with a key challenge: moving beyond a transactional logic to build strong, committed, and memorable brands.

Keynote Labelium | AI, social media, trust: the new Bermuda Triangle of digital technology
Your customer no longer searches the way they once did. Not long ago, Google organised the world, and every query followed a clear logic. Today, everything has changed: LLM-powered engines generate answers directly, social networks have become fully-fledged search engines, and trust in the traditional web is eroding under the weight of misinformation and sponsored content. The result: the customer journey is fragmented, unpredictable, and at times even invisible.
For brands, the challenge is immense: how can you remain discoverable when points of entry multiply and evolve? How can you preserve credibility in a context where users doubt everything? And above all, how can you continue to influence choice when the deciding factor is no longer a results page but a generative intelligence that filters, prioritises, and reformulates? This conference offers an in-depth exploration of this new era of discovery.
We will examine the forces reshaping search behaviours, demonstrate how brands must adapt their strategies to remain visible and credible, and share practical ways to take advantage of this new environment. A clear-sighted, forward-looking exploration to understand how to survive — and prosper — in generative chaos.
With:
- Michael Beresin, Director Innovation & AI, Labelium
