Today, he helps companies create powerful brand moments, inspire lasting customer enthusiasm and turn loyalty into a genuine competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-alex-hunter-speaking-topics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alex Hunter speaking topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Art &amp; Science of WOW &#8211; How great brands create customer experiences people talk about<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every brand says it puts customers first. Very few create experiences people remember, repeat and recommend. Drawing on launching Virgin America, leading digital for the Virgin Group and two decades working with brands from Coca-Cola to Porsche, Alex unpacks the art (emotion, story, surprise) and the science (design, data, consistency) behind experiences that turn customers into fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audiences leave with:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why &#8220;good&#8221; service is now invisible, and what makes an experience memorable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The small, repeatable moments that drive word of mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A practical way to find and fix the moments that matter in their own customer journey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best for: opening or closing keynotes, customer experience and customer service conferences, any industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Should I Love You? &#8211; Building customer loyalty that lasts in a connected world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winning a customer has never cost more, and losing one has never been easier. Alex shows why loyalty is earned through relationships, not transactions or points schemes. He also explains why the organisations that win usually aren&#8217;t the ones reinventing themselves, but the ones doing what they already do better, with intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audiences leave with:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What really drives loyalty, and what merely buys repeat purchases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to turn customers into advocates who sell for you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple ways to measure and protect loyalty when budgets are tight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best for: leadership meetings, marketing and CX teams, financial services, membership and subscription businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Human at Scale &#8211; Using AI to create better customer experiences without losing the human touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI can serve customers faster and cheaper than ever. It can also make a brand feel colder than ever. Alex looks at where AI improves the customer experience, where it quietly erodes trust, and how to use it to free people up for the moments only humans can handle. Practical, hype-free and grounded in real examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audiences leave with:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why to start with the customer problem, not the technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where to automate, and where a person must stay in the loop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to keep a brand&#8217;s personality when AI is doing the talking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best for: organisations rolling out AI in service or sales, leadership teams, technology and financial services audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Virgin America Story<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; Lessons from launching an airline people fell in love with<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An insider&#8217;s account of building a brand with a fiercely loyal following from a standing start, and what any organisation can borrow from it. Works best as a fireside chat, after-dinner talk or Q&amp;A-led session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is Alex Hunter?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before joining the Virgin Group, Alex Hunter was part of the founding team at Virgin America, a multi-award-winning US airline.
