Chris Nash, Co-founder & Partner of RelevantEdge, on the Critical Role of Experience & Personalisation in Creating Lifetime Customers

Chris Nash is our guest on this edition of The CEO.digital Show EXTRA, discussing why CX is more important than long-term measurable conversions, and where the role of personalisation falls into this. As well as delving into his inspiring drive behind starting a new business in the midst of a global pandemic, and his entrepreneurial role as an independent Digital Consultant.

With over 25 years’ experience in omnichannel marketing and a self-proclaimed early example of the digitisation of the internet, Chris Nash is a prominent leader in providing brand-elevating competitive advantages through data-driven personalisation.

Chris’s unmatched experience and innovation has led him to co-find and direct a new digital experience optimisation solutions company in the middle of a global pandemic. Alongside which, he also works directly with companies, helping them to listen and engage in the ever-evolving business and culture landscape. Chris is a specialist and speaker on commerce data and DX capabilities, and has co-authored a pioneering marketing book, “Connect – How to use Data and Experience Marketing to Create Lifetime Customers”. We were delighted to catch up with him on all of this and more in this EXTRA edition of The CEO.digital Show.

Here are just some of the things we spoke to Chris about in the podcast:

  • Why and how launching a new business in the middle of a global crisis was advantageous.
  • How customer and business needs are changing from a marketers point-of-view, and delivering accessible and affordable analytics to assist this.
  • The drastically changing rate of the data used and obtained for business benefits.
  • Chris’s 7-step CX maturity model for creating a roadmap to choosing the right technology and aligning the organisation
  • The importance of providing relevant content at a moment that’s meaningful, and how organisations are looking to get the most value out of content in a measurable way
