The International Customer Experience Awards 2022

Back bigger than ever for 2022 – the International Customer Experience Awards. A truly global program, with entrants from all over the world, these awards celebrate the incredible work done by CX professionals from companies large and small.

Have you created a new learning programme that will transform your customer proposition? Perhaps you’ve found a new way to engage customers online to make things easier for them? Maybe the global Coronavirus pandemic has led to a revolution of your culture that’s benefitting employees and staff alike?

However your business is delivering an exceptional customer experience, why not start celebrating your successes and find out more about the awards on offer?

With a coveted Outstanding Awards Trust Mark from the Independent Awards Standards Council for the fourth year running, The International Customer Experience Award entry process has rigor and high standards built in. There’s a fair and transparent scoring system, plus at least five independent judges in every category.

The ICXA entries come in two halves. You get 50% of the marks available based on your written entry and the other half come from your live entry presentation on finals day if you’re shortlisted. This year the Awards Finals on November 10 will be a historic occasion – the largest ever collection of CX case studies! Hundreds of companies will be sharing their stories, building connections with each other and picking up ideas to implement in their own businesses. Both the Awards Finals and Ceremony (a week later) will take place Live Online, allowing professionals from all over the world to come together with ease.

This year’s ICXA has 25 categories, each celebrating a particular aspect of CX excellence. Categories are organised into three main sections:

• CX Elements – celebrating the key elements of a world-class CX strategy
• CX Spotlights – recognising particular industries and practices that are shaping the CX future
• CX Professionals – honouring individuals and teams who are essential for CX success

Read on further to see how to put a high quality entry together and pick the perfect category for you.

How to enter

Fancy taking home the trophy for the Best Customer Experience Strategy or even Customer Experience Leaders or Team of the Year? Then you’ve got until August 12 2022 to get your entry in. Your first entry fee is €499+VAT and any additional categories are charged at €449+VAT, or a package of three entries €1299+VAT. If you can enter before July 15 2022, you’ll qualify for the early bird deadline and save on entry fees.

Once you’ve registered and paid, you’ll be given access to an online entry portal where you’ll find the entry template. Entry forms have been simplified this year, with most now requiring you to answer seven questions. These sections include how you went about planning and preparing for your initiative, what you hoped to achieve, stakeholder engagement, what made it innovative and creative, plus the all-important impact and benefits section.

As I mentioned, 50% of the overall entry scoring rides on that all-important written entry. This can be pretty daunting when it comes to making a start. My advice is to ensure your entry is interesting! With more than 120 companies shortlisted last year, the judges had a lot of reading to do! Waffle, jargon and unsubstantiated claims will be sure to turn the judges off – and don’t forget to talk about what you actually achieved as well as how you got there. Remember this is all about your customers – judges need to really see how you impacted customer experience.

The ICX Awards has 25 varied categories to take your pick from, you can find the full list of categories available here, but here’s a bit more information about some of the categories on offer:
