ABOUT EVENT
CEM Africa is your platform to connect with professionals from diverse industries, united by a shared goal: to create exceptional experiences that drive customer satisfaction and revenue growth.
The 2024 South African CX Report is the sixth annual edition of what has become the benchmark for insights and analysis into the state of CX in South Africa.
Produced by market research company ovatoyou, digital agency Rogerwilco and Julia Ahlfeldt CX Consulting, the report takes a comprehensive look at the joy, pain, and indifference consumers experience
in their interactions with the brands they buy from.
In keeping with the previous five versions of the report, we polled some 2,000 South African consumers to glean insights on the good and bad.
This data is contrasted with feedback from 75 business executives who participated in a separate survey, allowing us to compare and contrast the corporate view from the
consumer one.
By showcasing your brand, you're creating a powerful presence in front of your target audience, establishing your business as a market leader, and opening up opportunities for valuable conversations with key decision-makers.
Gain maximum exposure for your brand and connect with potential customers, partners, and industry leaders. Showcase your latest products and services, generate leads, and more.
Sponsoring the event positions you as a market leader, providing premium brand exposure and VIP treatment. Connect with key decision-makers and elevate your brand.
