Patrick Harvey, Head of Customer Loyalty, Npower
Since joining npower in 2005, Patrick Harvey has been responsible for delivering a number of ground breaking propositions and retention campaigns to both challenge the industry status quo and customers perceptions of energy suppliers. His remit includes understanding the insights behind customer behaviours and satisfaction levels and developing solutions to meet the needs of customers, prospects and the brand
Fundamental to this challenge is the development of a range of propositions, campaigns and affinities to drive acquisition and retention of npower’s 6.6 million Residential and Business customer base and build brand awareness and engagement. These activities include:
- Developing new acquisition propositions and campaigns to drive customer acquisition and differentiate npower from its competition. This includes the first fixed rate product in the market (Gas Guardian), the first bundled product linking boiler care to energy with npower ONE and the first tracker to give customer control and visibility of energy prices
- Developing a range of loyalty initiatives from npower select, npowers unique customer reward and retention programme, to In Good Company, a unique customer engagement programme that links the companies npower uses and supplies to create virtual communities with the domestic and SME customers.
- Patricks role also includes developing partnerships with other brands such as activity with McDonalds, National Trust and Barclaycard to build brand salience and establishing proposition strategies to maximise npowers newly acquired sponsorship of the Football League
Patrick’s work is fundamental to achieving the npower vision of ‘turning customers into fans’ by creating a brand that challenges the norms of a price led, volatile but ultimately, low interest market. It is also vital to understanding what drives customer engagement and loyalty and being able to define activities to meet customers needs and track their success
