Some frequently asked questions

Customer Experience refers to how customers interact with your business at every point in the customer journey, from the first moment they become aware of your brand on social media, to the service they receive from your customer support team.

Customer Experience is all about strategically planning and optimising every single interaction your customers have with your brand, leading to unforgettable experiences and a loyal customer base.

As a member of the Human-Centred Design (HCD) family, CX is closely tied to User Experience (UX) and Service Design. While UX and Service Design both take a look at the customer journey, CX goes a step further, focussing on the perceived value of the brand’s offering.

CX takes the concept of HCD and applies it to more than just design. Looking at how an organisation is structured, how it communicates with its customers, the strategies it employs to grow its business, and even considering how it treats its staff and stakeholders. If marketing and HCD had a baby, it would be CX.

Customer Experience has the potential to make or break a brand’s success. People qualified to apply data-driven insights and formulate CX strategies are a hot prospect for all those organisations seeking improved loyalty, a stronger brand and maximum revenue.
