Customer Experience is About Value and Values. Customer experience is not the new battleground anymore. It’s THE battleground. And it all centers around the word value. How can we provide value in what we offer to customers? How can we define and promote our values in our customer experience, so customers can align their values with ours? Finally, how can we make our customers feel valued and important?

Consumer opinion is the primary evaluation tool of traditional concept and packaging development. So primary, in fact, that it’s often used as the only evaluation tool. This wouldn’t be an issue were traditional evaluation methods able to capture the entirety of what a consumer really thinks and feels. Unfortunately, they usually don’t.

Since then, Velocity has moved beyond just operational topics and expanded into the development side of building large-scale applications.

Social media trends can be TNT for brands, offering explosive results and placing them solidly on potential consumers’ radar – but oftentimes, not in a good way. At least not the type of trends we have in mind! Using social listening, brands are able to head off crises by seeing things coming before they’re enveloped in viral dramas. And brand health has to be a top priority for this to happen.
