ExperienceEvaluator by Kantar unlocks brand growth through Kantar’s proprietary Meaningfully Different Experiences methodology

Sydney, 15 July 2025: Kantar today announces the launch of ExperienceEvaluator – a rapid and cost-effective Customer Experience (CX) solution enabling brands to benchmark and optimise customer experiences wherever they happen, accelerate business growth by driving more people to their brand, and ultimately win against the competition.

Delivering results in as little as four days, ExperienceEvaluator’s insights enable CX teams to rapidly evaluate how audiences react, engage and connect with brands. Using direct customer feedback from Kantar’s high-quality, privacy-compliant consumer access panels, ExperienceEvaluator allows marketers and CX teams to analyse what is influencing people’s experiences, pinpoint areas for improvement and prioritise next steps based on data-driven insights.

Available on Kantar Marketplace, Kantar’s agile market research platform, ExperienceEvaluator makes it easier and more cost effective than ever for CX teams to continuously refine and enhance their offering in response to customer feedback.

ExperienceEvaluator is built on Kantar’s proprietary Meaningfully Different Experiences (MDX) methodology, which is based on an independently certified framework built on over 30 years of expertise working with top global brands. MDX links strong consumer experience to measurable business outcomes such as increased market share, reduced churn, higher pricing power and stronger customer retention.

Maree Taylor, Kantar Australia’s Head of Customer Experience says, “customer experience is a critically important element of the promise brands make to consumers. Companies that give their customers a meaningfully different experience see people paying more for their products and services – and are 2.5 times more likely to increase their market share and increase margins.”

“But too often we see companies use CX metrics that fail to reflect people’s real-world experiences and how well brands are living up to their promise. ExperienceEvaluator is a guiding light for any brand that wants to truly evaluate and optimise how they are speaking to the people that matter the most – their customers.”

“Here in Australia, we too often face the challenge of CX being viewed through only an operational lens – such as how to move human-based touchpoints to self-serve digital touchpoints to unlock savings, and how to reduce call centre volumes, etc,” adds Taylor.

“Brands are missing the massive opportunity to unlock their experiences as the growth driver they can and should be. ExperienceEvaluator is a way you can quickly and easily get a sense for what it would take to unleash the full power of your investment in CX.”

Global telco giant Orange is using Kantar’s MDX metrics to evidence the positive business impact of its relationship CX programs. Diane Filippini, Head of Brand Strategy – Insight and Performance at Orange says: “the ability to integrate brand and CX insights has given us a new perspective. The customer experience of Orange needs to reflect what we promise. Of course, a very high-profile campaign will have an impact on brand performance, but the biggest impact comes from how our customers experience the brand in their daily lives and what they hear about us from their friends and family. We knew that before, but now we’re able to demonstrate to senior stakeholders how experiences contribute to building the brand.”
