Customer Collective

Customer Collective helps companies to build strong relationships centered around their most important growth asset: their customer. 

We call it ‘Customer Ownership’. 

The end customer is at the heart of every activity, including identifying its needs, the creation of products and services to fulfill those needs, building customer experiences, and developing relationships through up- and cross-selling and tackling the churn. 

This calls for a unique combination of strategy, digital, technology, data, and branding & performance. Customer Collective focuses on five building blocks and therefore joins the forces of The House of Marketing, Upthrust, Dignify, Fightclub, addData, SalesX, and Webworks. 

Unlike other ecosystems existing in the European market, the companies work closely together. For each project, they select the best profiles with complementary expertise and skills to have the best possible impact.

#1 Screens don't sweat. Go all in on REAL.
#2 Asset hacking, deconstruction and system prompting are crucial skills.
#3 Real business process understanding will prevail.
#4 Flexible tech & vibe coding are your operational advantage.
#5 Experimentation (strategy) is more important than ever.

Today I hosted an exclusive insights session for key customers with Maud Delbeke and Corinne Verstraete at the Google offices in Brussels to talk about the Future Of Marketing Opportunities (FOMO). Extremely proud of my team Bert 🚀 Schildermans & Usman Abdul for sharing their point of view and key takeaways. Shoutout to Amber Dewalheyns, Ellen 🐙 Benoit, Alexandra Steel & Lisa Marie 💃 Van Boxel for making this happen!

The future is here. Don't miss it.
