Customer Experience Experts

Smith+Co was founded in 2002. We believed then, as we do now, that customer advocacy and loyalty are created through defining a customer experience that is aligned to a brand’s purpose and what it stands for.

Over the years we’ve helped many brands create clarity around their brand purpose and how to translate this into an experience that differentiates the brand and wins customer loyalty. But don’t just take our word for it – take a look at what our clients say.

Due to their insights and leadership we not only created an experience which had shared ownership, which drove changes to consistently deliver basics, but was on brand, differentiated and focused our resources and finances to only over-deliver at the key points which made the biggest difference to our customers and our business success.”

“Helped us raise the bar on what to deliver”

“Smith+Co helped us turn high-level brand strategy into specific elements of a new branded customer experience that could be delivered in complex operational situations. Their ability to draw on a broad range of perspectives from within and outside our sector helped us raise the bar on what to deliver and consider new ways to make it happen.”

Peter Gowers – CEO, IHG

“I have worked with many consultants, but Smith+Co are unquestionably the best. Based on the very first workshop they conducted for us, our organization became smarter about our customers – and keenly aware of the gaps our current servicing of them resulted in vis-à-vis their expectations. Shaun was a great teacher, leaving our organization more informed and more focused. I would hire them again in an instant.”

Susan Phillips, VP Global, Marketing

“Smith+Co helped us re-assess the service we were offering our customers and identify opportunities for improving customer satisfaction, by moving from a service based model to providing an ‘experience’ across each consumer touchpoint. They helped us develop a process to identify which parts of the consumer journey we should dial up through a series of benchmarking and research activities; supported in the development of the training cascade and the development of the KPI’s to measure the success. Through this process we have developed a programme across all our brands for national roll-out”​

Chris Good – President UK and Ireland, The Estee Lauder Companies
