NEW REPORT

What customers expect from brands in tough times.

The rising costs of everyday essentials are influencing how and where customers spend their time and money. How can brands navigate the short-term customer responses and enduring societal shifts? Over 600 customers across 9 markets tell us the steps brands must take to stay relevant during the cost-of-living crisis.

We’re relationship experts who help businesses thrive in the relationship economy. 

In today’s environment, brands need to learn to give, as much as they seek to get. Thriving brands invest in their most valuable relationships, strategically, intentionally and confidently. 

Stronger relationships build stronger brands. We can prove it.

The CXC System has been validated by over 8 years of research. Customer-inspired and human-centric, it quantifies the strength and quality of customers’ relationships with brands and has a built-in typing tool that lets us segment customers by different relationship types, or statuses.

Our team of 400+ brings the right mix of audiences, approaches and experts to meet you and your customers where you are.
