“Clare is an optimist, bringing light to others’ personal and professional lives. She is an inspiring and original customer experience thought-leader and speaker. That is why I knew she would be a great choice for the opening keynote at our CX virtual conference, Experiencecon, held on 11 March. She was able to highlight different angles on CX Design which others might overlook. I highly recommend Clare: she gives not only a refreshing perspective but also further food for thought.”

Laura Tengerdi, Event Organiser, Experience Con.

“Foodstuffs New Zealand has enjoyed a great relationship with Clare and CMXperience since 2018. Clare has been instrumental in designing and recommending CX tools and methods which have become part of our organisational culture, I highly recommend Clare for any complex CX design initiative. I'd also note that we've achieved great results collaborating both in person (workshops, focus groups etc) as well as remotely (NZ and UK couldn't be further apart). This is testament to Clare's passion, enthusiasm and desire to deliver results for her clients”

Dave Brem, Head of Customer Experience & Digital, Foodstuffs New Zealand

”Clare is on FIRE! Absolutely loved working with Clare and seeing her challenge not only our teams but also our customers mindsets & how they see Customer Experience. Clare is clearly passionate about CX and it shows as she puts herself 150% into all actions to ensure the best outcome. Definitely recommend teaming up with Clare!”

“Having seen Clare’s keynote at the National Housing Federation Conference, we asked CMX to work with us as we knew Clare would challenge our thinking, but also take the time to understand who we are as an organisation and work with our people to develop great solutions. CMX did not disappoint - working with our people from across the business they helped us create exciting, practical and innovative solutions that will help continue our transformation into a modern connected business designed around customer needs. CMX helped us develop the skills and design tools so we can move CX forward - but I'm sure we will be working with Clare and her team in the future as we continue to transform Sovereign into a business with our customers at the heart of all we do”

Matthew Hensby, Director of Property Services, Sovereign Housing Group.

Clare started working with CX Today in 2020, and we've never looked back. Clare has a wealth of experience and an adorable personality that makes working with her a pleasure. I'd recommend Clare for speaking sessions and conversational formats such as hosting discussions and podcasting.

Her approach is nothing short of transformative and the value she brought to us and our clients has been immeasurable”

Paul Manning, MD, 99, The Clemenger Group.

“It’s rare that you come across standout and insightful people like Clare Muscutt. I worked with Clare for an online event arranged by Netigate with +450 attendees on the theme “Future of CX”. Clare was always fast to reply and super professional in all communication. I was particularly impressed by Clare’s ability to come up with great ideas and improvement for the event. I hope me and Clare will stay in touch and work together on future projects. I highly recommend working with Clare.”

Sophie Hedestad, Chief Marketing Officer, Netigate.

"We’re hugely passionate about helping our travellers have an unforgettable time when they’re away, and a really positive experience whilst planning their trip with us. But, that becomes challenging as your business grows – and over the past few months we’ve been beginning to feel the effects. We spoke to Clare (a trusted sounding board, as well as one of our earliest travellers) about the challenges we were facing - and she suggested facilitating a series of workshops to help us clarify our purpose, flesh out our proposition and innovate around our customer journey. Over the three workshops, she opened our eyes to new ways to maintain, and even improve, our level of service whilst bringing more clients on board. As well as drawing out ideas from our heads, Clare also brought lots of her own to the table and then helped us to prioritise the most promising ones. Each session pulled back to business drivers and how to test things in the lowest-risk way (which is extra important for a boot-strapping start-up). Clare’s extremely passionate about her field, has an invaluable toolkit that she's built up over her career so far and she works hard to deliver real value at pace. It has felt like she’s personally invested in us and helping us make our business a success, and has really rolled her sleeves up to help us drive things forward. Plus, she’s a delight to spend time with.

No doubt, everybody could do with a bit of Clare in their business!"

Helen & Al Robshaw, Founders, Faraway
