A Case Study with Qantas
The Context icon

The Context

Qantas Loyalty Senior Executive wanted to understand how customers think about trust.
It was important to find a way for the C-suite to engage in a different format that allowed them to stay in the office and not be tied to a video link.

The Challenge icon

The Challenge

Qantas Loyalty Team wanted a convenient immersion that wasn’t a focus group or the need for them to go to someone’s home. Getting to the honest truth of what customers really think, especially in front of 30 people including C-Suite, is challenging.
We decided to use customer forums for storytelling – a unique format that brings the customer to the client with an independent moderator.

The Journey icon

The Journey

Two Frequent Flyer customer storytelling forums were held in front of Qantas Loyalty employees and C-Suite execs.
Customers were asked to tell us stories of their experiences with the loyalty programs they currently belong to and any frustrations or delights they have with them and how this relates to trust.
An open discussion and Q&A ensued to ensure the C-Suite had clarity on issues out of the bubble.

The Results icon

The Results

An open discussion and Q&A ensued to ensure the C-Suite had clarity on issues out of the bubble.
The forums helped C-Suite understand true loyalty issues.
It gave everyone (not just the moderator) the opportunity to ask questions, test theories and get to grips with reality. The moderator moderated questions and answers to ensure clarity and purpose.
The forums were hugely popular and future forums will cover fresh aspects of the program.

We’ve worked with Ruby Cha Cha for more than 10 years, and what keeps us coming back is their ability to get beyond the research and understand what really matters to our business. Over that time, they’ve become far more than an external research agency. They feel like a genuine extension of our team. We trust them with our toughest questions, knowing they’ll bring not only deep experience but also fresh thinking and a perspective.

What sets Ruby Cha Cha apart is their rare combination of rigorous thinking, commercial instinct and genuine curiosity. They don’t simply present data or tell us what consumers said, they help us understand what it means for our business, challenge our assumptions when needed, and turn insights into clear, actionable recommendations. Their work has influenced many of our most important decisions over the years, making them a trusted and valued partner in our growth journey.

I have been working with the awesome Ruby Cha Cha team for the past 7-8 years now. Ellen & the Ruby team are fantastic to collaborate with, always willing to partner to solve business challenges. The in-office Customer forums they’ve run for us at Uber are shattering one-way mirrors with our customers and driving quicker decision making and employee engagement – highly recommend!

I have worked with Ruby Cha Cha for over a decade. I always find that they work hard to get to the nub of the issues and come up with insightful actionable outputs. They think outside of the box and design innovative approaches and they bring stakeholders along on the research journey, instilling confidence and understanding. A recent study on Bushfires that they conducted highlighted their flexibility and ability to refocus in light of challenging circumstances. The resulting report was to the usual exceptional standard and was part of a submission to a Royal Commission. I would recommend Ruby Cha Cha to anyone who is seeking rigorous research that produces actionable outcomes.

The Ruby team worked in partnership with the mycar marketing and leadership team to undertake a large qualitative and quantitative segmentation and customer satisfaction study in the middle of the pandemic, which played an integral role in the relaunch of the mycar brand and its overall strategic direction. Ruby Cha Cha were able to pivot quickly, think creatively and apply skill and clever thinking to ensure mycar got the strategic insights that would drive effective decision making. We now view the segmentation as a living, breathing document referred to everyday at mycar.

Ellen Baron and the Ruby Cha Cha team have worked with me and my team to redefine and reposition the WIMR brand. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ellen – her approach is highly professional, engaging, intelligent and collaborative. As a marketing professional and having operated my own consultancy, at the outset I wanted to be sure that the rigour and strategic approach to the project would be exemplary, and would deliver great results. Ellen has gone above and beyond in working with us, navigating a complex organisation and diverse stakeholders. Ellen is focussed, pragmatic, highly experienced and she brings a sense of humour and fresh, dynamic perspective. Ellen is passionate about her work – she truly invests and cares about her work and her clients. I am delighted with the strategic outcomes, and I know we will continue to collaborate on projects into the future. Thank you Ellen for your considered, strategic and insightful approach.

It has been a pleasure to work with Ruby Cha Cha on this consumer co creation market research project. We had a great deal we wanted to delve into with our research including brand, customer and category and Ruby Cha Cha were instrumental in guiding that process and adjusting to our needs, to ensure we got the best insights from both the qualitative and quantitative research.
We have received some valuable insights through the project that will not only guide our brand moving forward but also allow us to implement improvements across the business that will ensure we uphold the great customer experience we pride ourselves on at Oz Lotteries.
