A growing ecosystem of digital services, content and platforms shapes consumer choices long before purchase. At the same time, FMCG brands’ direct connection to consumers is changing, limiting access to data, reducing control over the customer relationship and increasing dependency on external platforms.
For Valio, a market-leading dairy and food company in Finland and a major player in the international dairy ingredients market, this meant finding new ways to strengthen direct relationships with consumers. The focus was on increasing relevance, capturing first-party data and driving behaviour across everyday interactions – not just at the point of purchase.
Together, we created Valio’s digital, always-on system for scaling meaningful loyalty-building experiences. Rather than building isolated initiatives, we built a shared foundation for loyalty across the organisation, fully embedded into Valio’s existing operations and aligned with future development roadmaps.
Loyalty now connects digital platforms, content, brands and growth categories through a shared logic, enabling consistent, seamless loyalty experiences across touchpoints. Validated loyalty mechanisms power business goals while operating on a unified logic and technical setup – making it possible to scale engagement efficiently across brands, channels and marketing activities.
By shifting the focus from transactions to everyday interactions, Valio can guide consumer behaviour, strengthen brand preference and drive long-term impact where loyalty is truly built — in everyday use across the product portfolio.
