Bridging the experience gap
We start with the end in mind – so you know where you’re going and you’re ready when you get there.

We Are CE/CX - A Marketing Experience Consultancy powered by Campbell Ewald.
Consumer Experience – we didn’t invent the term, but we pioneered the practice in 1919.
It goes back to our heritage as an agency, when our two founders purchased a Chevrolet dealership in order to get hands-on knowledge of the entire customer journey – from advertisement to purchase, all the way to the great service that engenders brand loyalty.
So we created a whole practice out of it. Our Consumer Experience Journey Map is recognized as “one of the best” in the industry and gives you the big-picture context with real insights you can act on.
We’ll deliver smart strategies that are built with addressable, buyable audiences in mind, have actionable insights you can activate across the entire consumer journey and generate a real business impact.

We have a knack for making the complex simple. And, more important, manageable. With deep experience building brands in highly regulated industries and commoditized, fragmented categories, we tear down silos to help industries and stakeholders find alignment.
And we excel with clients that have multifaceted business challenges, complex distribution models, complicated consumer journeys and diverse product portfolios. We’ve been doing it for over a century – for every industry imaginable.

The world of retail looks completely different post-COVID. From brick and mortar to e-commerce, the race to checkout has accelerated and, we have proven ways of paving a better path to purchase.
