Experience Watch — What Customer Experience (CX) Means to APAC Digital Leaders

For all the talk around experience-driven businesses, did you know it’s now been proven to pay off? Experience businesses outperform their peers in metrics across the entire customer journey, including a 40 percent average increase in revenue growth and a 60 percent average increase in customer lifetime value.

Still, experience business can mean many things to many people, and we know brands in Asia Pacific (APAC) do things a little differently. From transforming digital advertising in the finance industry, to providing online education that’s just one click away, every business leader has their own unique approach to digital transformation. And there’s no substitution for learning from your peers.

Adobe sits down with leading APAC experience makers to discover their approach to digital strategy and how they’re revolutionising customer experiences.

Circles.Life - Give Power Back To Build Customer Trust

Asia’s first fully digital telco company. That’s the mission for Circles.Life, Singapore’s newest telco that has managed to disrupt an entire industry within a few short years.

Their all-digital model would be a confronting reality for any business: no physical distributors. No retail businesses. Even the sim cards and phones are ordered online then couriered directly to customers.

But Circles.Life has found success by targeting Asia’s data-hungry mobile users and keeping the focus on transparency to buck the negative stereotype of hidden charges and lock-in plans.

Circles.Life may be making waves, but Senior Media Manager Gaurav Gupta says their success starts with giving power back to the customer. Discover how Circles.Life is building a reputation for transparency, an engaged customer community, and evolving their customer understanding from “cookies on blind browsers” to a master ID tracking every online interaction.

KBTG, Kasikorn Bank – Digital Intelligence Means Proactive Experiences

Fred Roteseree, Deputy Managing Director of KBTG (the IT arm of Thai financial institute, KBank), wanted his business to see their customers differently. Instead of a home loan customer or credit card user, he wanted them to be a KBank customer first.

This simple switch in mindset allowed the business to start sharing information across departments and develop a holistic view that could identify more opportunities to engage, delight and surprise customers.

Roteseree says a key word to their transformation is intelligence – the ability to be proactive in your customer engagement. Learn how KBTG is today bringing computing power to data for more intelligent, personalised and proactive experiences for their customers.
