THIS EVENT IS COMPLETED!

Overview

CX is an important factor as customers’ perception is a key attribute to drive brand loyalty, when it comes to digital customer engagement. Consumers will choose to stay with your business and be your brand advocates if they like you. Keeping customers captivated by the brand and encouraging them to become brand loyalists is where customer experience plays a main role. We can say that a customer is satisfied by not only visiting websites or stores regularly but also to share positive feedback on why they like the brand. This would stir up other customers to interact with the brand and also keep and gain more customers. 

In the course of this  digital – first era, businesses got a load of tremendous spike in customer communication via digital channels. Hence, embracing digital customer experience strategies will boost the overall experience and journey customers will have when interacting with the brand.  Reshaping your CX digitally will help your business to generate an omnichannel experience, provide instant, real-time support, automate mundane tasks, convert more customers and optimise the customer journey.

In the Philippines, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is looking to stretch the number of local e-commerce enterprises from 750,000 to 1 million by 2022. According to a research survey made by Forrester Consulting, the Philippines (3.9) sits between China (4.0) and Malaysia (3.8) in terms of CX score which is based on three key considerations when measuring CX quality — effectiveness, ease and emotion. When it comes to CX, the Philippines provides an excellent blend of economic, cultural and digital aspects making it an exceptional location for centres of excellence and customer experience hubs. Some of the advantages the Philippines offers to local and multinational enterprises are access to global talent, communication skills, infrastructure and innovative technologies.

The need for CX Leaders to adapt to changing conditions to compose the future business – to form and reform dynamically has been highlighted in this global pandemic and it is by creating new approaches, collaboration between all parties, and scalable customer experience core and innovation solutions which requires having insights into what other business leaders are doing differently.

CX Leaders Strategy Forum is exclusive to senior-level executives only. This series of focus group discussion and mutually matched one-to-one meetings ensure that interactions between primary decision makers of top and emerging companies are intimate and insightful. Opportunities of raising relevant questions or sharing case studies and success stories are welcome and allows in-depth discourse about each attendee’s strategic priorities

    As one of the co-founders of SariSuki, Manuel “Bam” Mejia IV brings more than 15 years of experience and expertise in FMCG retail strategy and planning to this rapidly accelerating e-commerce startup. From his extensive time work with Procter & Gamble (P&G) all across the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (AMA) regions, Mr. Mejia has acquired an unrivalled proficiency in distribution channels for fast-moving consumer goods across different systems and a variety of channels including general trade, wholesale and retail, modern trade, group buying, and e-commerce.

    Prior to founding SariSuki, Mr. Mejia was Director of Market Strategy & Planning for P&G Personal Care in the AMA region, where he developed go-to-market strategies for P&G’s bath and deodorant business with brands such as Safeguard, Old Spice and Olay in core markets including the Philippines, Pakistan and Nigeria. In this role, Mr. Mejia was responsible for defining the company’s category growth vision for the region and adjusting P&G’s core strategies, keeping a constant ear to the ground in order to assess and react to evolving trends within the industry.

In this time, Mr. Mejia consistently exceeded the expectations of management teams and he was regularly recognized as one of the top key account leaders in the company.
