1:1 Personalization is a method of dynamic messaging in which a data value belonging to the viewer (for example, first name or product viewed) is used for creating personalization.

In the example below, viewers are greeted by their first name in the opening of the video. Note that all other components of the scene are identical.

1:1 Personalization is generated according to data that is passed to SundaySky for each individual. See Video Personalization—How it Works for more information.

If you would like the same text to display for all viewers, see Adding Text to a Scene for guidelines on how to add static text.

5.

Select the appropriate data element and then click anywhere outside the text field to save the selection. In the example below, viewers will see the word Hi followed by their first name.
▶ A capital T text_icon.jpg is added to the text placeholder to indicate that a data element has been added.
▶ Only one data element can be added to a text placeholder.
▶ The font size used for the text in the placeholder depends on the length of your text. The longer the text, the smaller the font size will be, to enable all the text to display in the placeholder. If all the text cannot be displayed, three dots will appear at the end, indicating that there is more to read.
