“The greatest opportunity for brands today, as they build strategies to re-emerge from the pandemic, is customer experience transformation.
“Creating competitive differentiation through marketing strategies, supported by data, technology platforms, and analytics is where we see the greatest demand for our services.
“These services also transform our revenue profile, generating a higher level of recurring revenues through ongoing managed services whilst also transforming our ability to deliver services from lower cost locations.
“Whilst the future path of the pandemic remains uncertain, our full year guidance confirms our confidence in the outlook for the second half of FY2021, as well as our ability to meet our medium-term targets by 2024.”
