​Our client are a Customer Strategy Consultancy based in Central London. They are enjoying a period of unprecedented growth and are now consulting and partnering with some of the UK’s biggest brands across different sectors.

They believe that a Customer-Centric approach to Business is the only guaranteed way to drive sustainable business growth. However, to do Customer-Centricity properly (rather than simply say it) requires a comprehensive and constantly updated (dynamic) understanding of customer behaviour and a clear picture of what matters most. They have a platform which ingests all first-party data, applies a series of business-critical strategic lenses, separates customers into behavioural segments and uncovers the positive & negative changes in behaviour that most impact both the Business and its customers. This capability can be used in a variety of ways – from C-suite clients needing to guide their business and digital transformation strategy; through to CX Directors developing the right experience at every touch point and CRM/Data Directors implementing personalisation capability. And if their clients need help creating a strategy and actioning their insights, their Strategy Consultants and Data Planners plan and support them, working as an extension of the Client’s Team.
