Customer Lifetime Value: Three Key Steps—No Magic Potions Required

  1. Acquire New Customers
    Create innovative, data-informed products and experiences from the very first touchpoint—wherever that may be—to drive new customers to your brand.
  2. Build Loyalty
    Curate individualized customer journeys that nurture high-value relationships, encouraging repeat purchases and brand advocacy.
  3. Maximize Customer Value
    Reduce friction points and deepen the value of every interaction, from sales to product or service experience to support.

CLV as a Verb: Putting It into Everyday Practice

Q: How do I align my leadership team with a customer-obsessed approach?

A: Moving this marketing metric into a key growth driver requires a strategy-based, industry-specific approach. Our experts help you turn your CLV ambition into a vision and roadmap for delivering against your unique business goals. Our partnerships begin with discovery and insights workshops to determine your pain points and value pools across acquisition, loyalty, and customer value.

Q: How do I orient my organization around the customer?

A: After developing an intimate understanding of your business, we build and develop operating models aligned to your customers’ journeys. With the guidance of cross-functional squads, we help you align teams with a shared commitment to key tenets of customer-centricity.

Q: How do I develop individualized interactions with my customers?

A: By assessing your existing customer data and technology landscape, we determine how to go beyond segment-based personalization to deep one-to-one real-time data insights, continuously building on each of your customer profiles. Working with the world’s leading technology partners, we build and scale data products—from Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) to data clean rooms—to enable your teams with a 360° view of every customer.

Q: How do I enable value-based relationships with my customers?

A: Leveraging our rich Customer Experience (CX) expertise, we build, develop, and iterate on best-in-class customer journeys and digital products designed to provide frictionless, connected touchpoints across every channel, serving as a point of differentiation for your brand.
