Yes, the 23rd edition of the Vlerick Alumni Marketing Colloquium is going Back-to-Basics. Belgium’s community of leading marketers are expected to dive into the fundamentals of marketing and apply them to today’s reality. Through a full-day mix of academic and business keynotes, the Colloquium will cover fundamental marketing models and contemporary case stories.

4C Consulting is proud to actively support Vanakam vzw.

The purpose of Vanakam vzw is to give girls from Tamil Nadu, South-India, who are orphans or half-orphans, the chance to go to school.
Starting from a familial sphere where the children can really feel at home, and this maybe for the first time, they will later be counseled in their professional and familial steps they want to take. Vanakam vzw makes a stand for girls who are still far too often discriminated against in India, especially in the countryside.
Vanakam vzw has an eye for the integration of about twenty countryside villages in this project. By providing basic medical care and employment for the local people in all projects which they develop. After all, integration and participation lead to self-sufficiency and is the only key to a successful project.

Customer Experience Management
Emotional customer engagement. That is what will separate future market leaders from their competitors, that is what separates today’s customer experience (CeX) leaders from the majority of companies.
Emotionally engaged customers –being it empowered consumers (B2C) or buyers (B2B)- increase top-line growth and improve bottom-line performance: (1) they generate additional value and (2) they reduce overall operating costs.
To emotionally engage your customers you must consistently deliver a desired and deliberate customer experience, across all customer touch points and all stages in the customer life cycle.
As an exclusive partner of Beyond Philosophy, 4C Consulting offers a unique set of services that help you define, assess & realize your customer experiences and customer interaction strategies:
- Customer Experience Statement
