Thomas Cook Sport X Feefo
Reviews and customer insights technology company Feefo extends its partnership with Thomas Cook.
Building on a three-year relationship, Thomas Cook Sport will deploy Feefo’s AI-powered, invitation-only insight platform. Feefo’s solution enables customers to post real reviews about the experiences they have had at some of the world’s greatest and most glamorous sporting events, such as the Wimbledon Tennis Championships or Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.
“As a company dedicated to giving our customers amazing experiences, we value transparency and openness above all else, which makes Feefo the perfect partner,” said Rob Slawson, head of Thomas Cook Sport.
“Our customers will now be able to share hugely valuable and real opinions with us and fellow sport-lovers because of Feefo. We always listen to our customers and this gives Thomas Cook Sport an opportunity to gather actionable insight that will be used to improve customer experience,” continued Rob Slawson.
Feefo stands apart from other review platforms through its transparent, invitation-only approach and the power of its disruptive technology. Only real customers can post reviews, whether good or bad, providing a wealth of analytics that fuel smarter business decision-making. Advanced AI-powered features such as Feefo Smart Themes allow consumers to drill down rapidly into thousands of reviews to the topics that most concern them.
