Masters of CX

A series of briefings from industry heavyweights on the
new keys to outstanding customer experience.

Welcome to the sixth and final report in Econsultancy's ‘Masters of CX’ series.

Many executives are overwhelmed by the rate of change in the digital space. Little wonder they may even give up trying to understand what drives customers these days. But have consumer needs really changed that much? They haven’t. Marketers have just been immersed in a hundred years of mass advertising and are blind the real reasons customers buy from us.

If you strip away the smartphones, iPads and wearable devices, our innate needs are familiar, even innate. In fact, the desires of the always-on digital native may be identical to their ancestors in the first marketplaces 1,000 years ago.

In this final Masters of CX report, Mark W. Schaefer explores his theory that the foundations of the ultimate customer experience were created in these medieval marketplaces. Sound strange? Download the report and see if you agree…
