Customer experience can make or break a brand. In today’s hyper-connected world, brand value isn’t defined by only marketing and advertising. Customer experience now plays a large role in defining a brand. So much so that experts have come up with a new term to explain it- Brand Experience.
Brand experience is the sum of all interactions (social media, ads, ease of use, support interactions, product features) that customers have with a brand over time. In fact, it is about creating emotional and meaningful relationships with customers.
While marketing and advertising play great roles in designing these encounters, it is CX that cements these relationship.

What are they going to feel or think? It’s being almost obsessive about the experience the customer has with the brand- the attitude of ‘I want to be here,’ rather than ‘I have to be here.”

Everyone knows that customer frustration or mistrust leads to churn. Case in point, PwC surveyed 15,000 consumers for their ‘Future of CX’ report and discovered this.
“1 in 3 customers will leave a brand they love after just one bad experience. 92% would completely abandon a company after 2 or 3 negative interactions.”
Think of all the money spent on advertising and branding. One bad experience can lay waste to that the time and resources spent on building a brand.
Brand experience is inarguably important. BX management includes-
A great brand experience produces brand loyalists and induces steady and organic growth.
