Customer Insight
Brand purpose and customer experience are most powerful when they are grounded in customer insight – insight into the difference you make (or could make) to your customers’ everyday lives.
Whilst it is true that most major companies conduct sophisticated customer research and analysis, what they usually end up with is piles of data.
The challenge is to find the actionable insight on which to prioritise your efforts in order to deliver your purpose and drive your customer experience.
