from 2023-02-28T19:00:42
In this special Explainer episode brought to you by the team at Retail Global, we are going to dive into what it means to be customer centric with one of the keynote speakers of the conference and global customer champion, Martin Newman. Martin is one of the world’s leading authorities on customer centricity, and a force for positive change for consumers and brands. He has 40 years of experience leading multi channel operations for some of the world’s most recognisable retail brands such as Burberry, Harrods and Ted Baker. Martin founded global ecommerce and digital consultancy Practicology and has since set up his customer consultancy, aptly named The Customer First Group. In this episode, we dive into Martin’s definition of customer centricity and why, with such a simple concept, many organisations still manage to get it wrong. I get his view on how to measure customer focus, his practical tips for changing to a customer centric culture and the retailers he holds up as the most customer centric around the world.
Joining Martin is Ash Hudson, CEO of Retail Global. He gives us the low-down on what to expect from the upcoming Retail Fest on the Gold Coast including special keynotes from amazing retailers including July, Lovehoney and LSKD and more!
