The outcomeRecord gross revenue, fastest-selling season ever, and a replicable model now scaling across products.

Client Situation

  • Our client, a luxury boutique cruise provider, was embarking on a data-driven marketing transformation.
  • With an improved single customer view in place and objectives to grow new customers and lift customer value, it needed insight, test-and-learn and measurement at the heart of its strategy, and partners who could deliver both the thinking and the activation.

Our Contribution

  • Worked alongside the client's data and marketing teams to build a blended view of customers: qualitative consumer research (run by The Big Window) on experiences and expectations, and quantitative database analysis (run by Loop Horizon) on behaviours and value opportunities.
  • Reviewed the combined insight against the customer lifecycle, so every opportunity was grounded in evidence of where it would land.
  • Developed opportunities through workshops, use-case briefs and prioritisation, activating five key customer experiences at critical lifecycle stages.

Results

  • The client's fastest-selling season ever, with record gross revenue.
  • Average revenue per passenger up 14%; repeat purchase rates consistently above 60%; engagement metrics sharply improved.
  • The approach is now scaling to extend value across other products.
