Over the last 45 years marketing and market research techniques have been developed to monitor brand success and customer satisfaction. But in the late 1980’s it was realised that research was interesting, but it was not being used effectively. Customer Insight - the comparison between management performance data and external market analysis and customer satisfaction surveys has improved the quality of communications. Marketing is all about understanding customer engagement and behaviour, so in this talk we will understand that better decisions and propositions have been improved as a result of analysing Customer Insight.’
The event is a great possibility to network with professionals from different sectors. We welcome attendance by CMI members and non-members, both females and males.
