Great marketing starts with obsessing over the customer experience and journey – creating relevance and value for your brand.
What is the single, unique and differentiated position for your brand that lives in the hearts and minds of your target customers? What are the opportunities to extend your brand to other categories or channels, or reposition it more effectively for your target customers? What are the key value drivers, friction points and opportunities to improve the customer experience?
Successful brands embrace the fact that every customer is different, with continually evolving tastes and preferences. A fundamental lense for this perspective is Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) – how your brand delivers value across the entire customer lifecycle and journey. GBH is adept at working with brands to identify strategies to improve CLTV metrics – reducing churn and improving customer retention and growth by applying research and analytics.
