Strong message from finalists! Not in 2020 but today

Customer-facing companies proving fast adopters of connecting technologies

Last year the judges said the entries for Loyalty Magazine Awards were “staggeringly good”. This year they are blown away by the extent to which commercial businesses in all sectors are using emerging technologies such as #AugmentedReality, #ArtificialIntelligence and #PersonalAssistants to bring about a Digital Transformation.

“We are experiencing tomorrow’s technology today” as one judge has already commented.

There is no doubt that these are exciting times and what is particularly obvious from the Loyalty Magazine Awards shortlist is that customer facing organisations are rising to the challenge, adopting the latest analytics and communication technology and connecting in the way their customers like best. Especially, this is via mobile devices and using social media.

“We hope you enjoy browsing the list of finalists,” said Annich McIntosh, CEO of The Loyalty Magazine Awards and editor of Loyalty Magazine. “Each one has fought stiff competition to be selected. We are very conscious that this shortlist is a significant and important insight into the way companies are responding to a consumer-led revolution.”

Do join us on June 20th at the special gala dinner and awards ceremony at the Pavilion, Tower of London, and be one of the first to learn which entries will be chosen as the winners and the very best examples of excellence, innovation and creativity in loyalty.

What better place to go to gain an idea of what it takes to achieve excellence than the Loyalty Magazine Awards gala evening at the very special Pavilion at the Tower of London, on June 20th?
