I have the privilege to participate to the CX RETAIL EU EXCHANGE in Lisbon – 5th-6th November 2024 – a lot of exciting topics are hitting my attention: the first one is about links between customer experience, brand, product, and marketing. They are deeply interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
I am preparing for the 2 days session and this is a memo for myself on how these elements relate:
CX and Brand
- CX directly shapes brand perception and loyalty – Positive experiences strengthen brand equity
- Brand promise sets customer expectations for experiences
CX and Product
- Product features and quality are core components of CX
- Customer feedback pushes product improvements
CX and Marketing
- Marketing sets CX expectations through messaging/advertising
- CX provides authentic stories for marketing content – Positive experiences generate word-of-mouth

- Brand positioning guides product development

FOCUS on Integrated Approach
- Aligning CX, brand, product, and marketing creates a cohesive customer journey

By strategically integrating these elements, companies can create a seamless, compelling experience that attracts and retains customers while building a strong, differentiated brand.
