Agenda


Times are changing and brands have to create the digital capabilities to meet the demands of their markets.

In the new reality, your client is in control of the relationship with your brands. Their behaviour is changing: how they buy, how they use a service or product, their level of loyalty and their probability of repurchase.

Are you ready for the “connected customer”?

How Ready are you for The Connected Customer?

Report Insights Presentation:

In the wake of customers’ accelerated shift towards digitalisation, an irreversible change has taken place: the customer is now connected to the world, and, by extension, to any company. They no longer see brands as suppliers from whom they occasionally make purchases, but as entities with whom they enjoy a relationship. This comes with expectations of seamless, responsive, and relevant communication. Brands need to be ready to meet these expectations, digital maturity and a solid CRM framework should deliver on this objective.
