Drawing on the 2026 Bond Loyalty Report and direct conversations with loyalty leaders across industries, this session unpacks five emerging trends; from the diverging mindsets formed by a K-shaped economy to the untapped power of partnerships, the enduring primacy of emotional loyalty, and the right role for AI in the member journey. Each trend is grounded in data, paired with a provocation, and designed to help brands honestly assess whether their programs are built to compete in what's coming next.

In this webinar, Max Kenkel, Sr. Manager – Customer Loyalty and Tanya Fish, Sr. Manager – Employee Experience from ITA Group will connect customer loyalty strategy with employee experience to show why frontline enablement is a critical part of the loyalty strategy, not an afterthought. Drawing on ITA Group's loyalty research and broader employee-engagement evidence, they will explore the loyalty handoff: the point where a program promise becomes an employee action, a customer feeling and, ultimately, a business outcome.

Attendees will leave with practical ways to strengthen enrollment, redemption and service-recovery moments; equip employees with clarity, practice and decision authority; and test the approach through a focused 30-day pilot.

This session is designed for loyalty, customer experience, marketing and people leaders who want to move beyond program mechanics and make the loyalty promise easier for employees to deliver and customers to feel.]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2026 20:43:55 GMT 1a7086bc-1ef1-4f9f-b08a-79e412cd7b13
