Customer Value, Unlocked.

Customer intelligence specialists, delivering a typical 32X ROI for retail & hospitality brands. 

Our belief

We’ve forgotten the customer, and it shows.

The average customer lifetime is just 15 months, with most of your base visiting or purchasing less than twice a year.

Blanket communications and surface level loyalty schemes only deliver short-term sales spikes – because true loyalty isn’t something you can simply trigger or ‘buy’, it’s something you build.

To build sustainable customer value, connection is everything. The brands that will thrive now are the ones using their data to become more human.
Curious. Emotionally intelligent. Responsive.

Emotion moves people. Intelligence moves markets. We do both.

What we do

We don’t sell you data, we decode yours.

Customer Intelligence

We apply data science and predictive modelling to customer behaviour – revealing segment-specific customer value, predicting risk, and quantifying opportunity. The result is business-changing clarity on where and how to act – and what it’s worth.

Strategy

We factor in your business goals, macro influences and delivery capability to map a clear path to growth.

Activation

Our team of activation experts turn data-led intelligence into emotionally intelligent, high-margin action, executing across owned channels including email, app, SMS & WhatsApp – working alongside your existing team or managing the end-to-end.

We let our numbers do the talking.

CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) doesn’t just show you what someone did, it tells you how they’re likely to behave in the future – and their true value over time.

When your marketing resonates, CLV grows.

We help you move from messages, to meaning – turning connection into measurable incremental value through increased frequency and high-margin spend.
