Turning brand to bond: Deloitte’s latest research on creating emotional connection at enterprise scale


Marketers have long believed that emotional relevance is important in connecting with customers and fostering loyalty. This conviction has inspired a storied history of heartstring-tugging commercials, loveable brand mascots, catchy jingles and category-defining slogans. Yet, in many instances, those warm feelings don’t endure as customers move from brand awareness into engagement and beyond. Experiences that feel disconnected, service that feels impersonal and customer data collection practices that feel invasive can break emotional bonds as quickly as they are built, and once those bonds are broken, they can be difficult to mend. So how can brands build and strengthen emotional bonds?

Deloitte’s latest research on customer loyalty identifies the tangible steps that brands can take to elevate human experiences for their customers to deepen bonds of loyalty and build lasting business value by weaving customer input and data points into everything they do. Join Deloitte Digital’s Tim Greulich and Jen Buchanan to learn about our research findings and how to translate them into a powerful new business discipline called operationalized human experience, or OpHX.

You’ll find out:

  • How rational considerations, such as price and quality, kindle emotional bonds with customers.

  • Which moments are pivotal in transcending from product satisfaction to brand love.

  • What customers want brands to know about them—and what they want in return.

  • Why organizational changes can help deepen individual connections.
