We’ve invested into improving and enhancing the way we connect with and listen to our customers, building a model which provides not only brand consistency, but also captures the nuances of each culture we operate in. This approach is yielding fantastic results and helping us improve our customer satisfaction levels.”

Simon Fraser, Senior Director CX Strategy at InMoment, added: “It’s an honour to work closely with M&S to implement and scale their global CX programme with a finely-tuned, localised approach.
