Play Video about Ogilvy One Short Video

In our recent podcast interview discussing the Ogilvy One report, Loyalty in the Age of the Emotional Consumer, we uncovered some powerful insights for today’s loyalty programs. Here are the top three takeaways:

1️⃣ Emotion + Behavior: True loyalty is built by fueling both how customers feel and what they do. It’s not enough to offer rewards—the experience must create an emotional bond.

2️⃣ Stand Out with Creativity: In a world full of loyalty programs, brands need to dive deep into insights and creativity. Consumers want that extra spark—a unique, memorable experience that goes beyond the basics.

3️⃣ Keep Evolving: Loyalty isn’t a fixed destination; it’s an ongoing relationship. As customer needs change, so should your strategy. Stay agile, keep innovating, and let your loyalty program grow with your customers.

What do you think? How are you keeping your loyalty programs fresh and engaging?
