Business Reporter: Custom research, consumer polling and insight communities

Methodologies that The Harris Poll UK leverages to reinforce CX research as a strategic asset

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, July 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an article published on Business Reporter, Sarah Beams, Managing Director of The Harris Poll UK, a Stagwell Company, talks about how the smartest organisations are turning CX research into a strategic asset, transforming it into a tool that fuels agility and loyalty. In a marketplace defined by rapid change and rising expectations, exceptional customer experience does not occur by chance. It is built on a foundation of continuous customer understanding. Brands that thrive are the ones that remain genuinely close to their audiences through dynamic, two way dialogue conducted through custom research, consumer polling and insight communities, not merely through dashboards and KPIs.

When, for example, custom research studies are integrated alongside ongoing tracking, a closed loop system emerges – performance signals spark deeper exploration and contextual findings enrich future monitoring. This built in agility enables timely responses to reputational shifts, regulatory changes or customer trends without losing sight of the broader narrative. Meanwhile, adding consumer polling alongside CX scorecards brings societal context into every boardroom discussion. When digital insight communities also operate alongside CX programmes, always on platforms foster co creation and ongoing dialogue. These living communities supplement tracking with rich, evolving engagement.
