CX Framework

“CX is the process of driving incremental growth through consistent optimisation and iteration of content and channel activity, based on context, data and insight.”

In today's fast-evolving marketplace, it's imperative that brands not only meet but surpass customer expectations at every interaction. During the 'Evolve' phase we’ll be using our proprietary Customer Experience (CX) framework to guide us. This will help us make better informed decisions that always have your customer at the heart.

We have developed a 6-part steering tool to audit, assess and improve these key areas of your business in the eyes of your customer: Speed, Trust, Personalisation, Content, User Experience and Conversion.

In a digital era where customers have limitless options, a CX approach ensures that your brand will stay relevant, continue to resonate and put your customer at the front of what you do.

Assurance

Assurance is Curated’s proprietary real-time data and insights tool delivered to you on a fortnightly or monthly basis with commentary, analysis and narrative, directly from our team of strategists. 

We understand the value exchange between brands and agencies has now changed. Saturation, commoditisation and in-housing are all themes that are disrupting the traditional ways of working. It is time to re-think the retainer. Have you experienced retainer fatigue? Every month is the same, delivering slow and meandering progress. Assurance is here to derail that.

Assurance can work in a couple of ways. It can be set up based on the strategy agreed from our Digital Persona, CX and Gap Analysis, enriching customer or market understanding. Otherwise, you can jump straight into our assurance process, monitoring pre-agreed themes that are important to your business, with stand out topics triggering more intense research.

Our process is simple and consists of four phases:

Observe - What is happening? Using our search, social and trend tools to monitor market dynamics and changes

Orient - Ensure the business is aware. Highlighting key topics and making the brand aware of proposed course of action

Decide - Determine the best course of action. Working with the client to decide on whether response needs to be delayed, delivered or research intensified

Act - Deliver a response to the situation. Regularly identify what course of action to take from each piece of insight
