With a 50+ year history, Molton Brown has moved with the times to stay at the forefront of the personal care and beauty industries.<\/p>\n

Now, as part of the Kao Corporation, it continues to scale its global footprint.<\/p>\n

Naresh Krishnamurthy plays a big role in that effort, leading digital customer experience transformation at Molton Brown.<\/p>\n

In doing so, he aims to connect the company\u2019s legacy with the future of digital CX. Here are five ways in which his team is doing so.<\/p>\n

1. Follow a More Experiential Loyalty Model<\/h2>\n

Traditionally, brands in the luxury space looked at customer loyalty through transactions, i.e., points and purchases. Molton Brown has evolved this into an experiential model using SAP CX.<\/p>\n

Sharing more, Krishnamurthy said:<\/p>\n

We now offer exclusive previews, personalized fragrance layering advice, tailored content, and even gamification features like our Fragrance Finder on the website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Behind the scenes, Molton Brown also uses SAP Commerce Cloud and Master Data to create a single customer view that crosses customer-facing departments.<\/p>\n

2. Embrace “Phygital”<\/h2>\n

“Phygital” is the practice of blending physical and digital experiences. Molton Brown is embracing a phygital strategy.<\/p>\n

For instance, it\u2019s ensuring the product assortment a customer sees on its website mirrors what\u2019s available in their closest store, eliminating confusion and strengthening consistency.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s looking to go further by uplevelling its personalization strategy, so in-store, online, and AI assistants can anticipate customer needs and provide tailored recommendations.<\/p>\n

That strategy hinges on real-time data orchestration. So, for example, if a customer browses woody fragrances online, that preference is captured in SAP. When they later book a boutique consultation and scan their loyalty profile on arrival, the associate sees a single customer view. That includes fragrance preferences, online interactions, and campaign responses, enabling the associate to make more relevant suggestions.<\/p>\n

3. Leverage “Non-Gimmicky” Gamification<\/h2>\n

As noted, Molton Brown launched a Fragrance Finder on its e-commerce website. This offers a gamified experience where customers answer personality- and preference-based questions. It then recommends products tailored to their responses.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not just a gimmick; it\u2019s a way to immerse customers in our brand story,” explained Krishnamurthy. “The focus is on engagement, not just conversion.” He continued:<\/p>\n

All the data flows back into our single customer view. This means when a customer later visits a boutique, associates already understand which fragrances have resonated with them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, Molton Brown has layered in exclusivity. For example, loyalty members can unlock rewards, previews, or special access through these gamified interactions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, seasonal experiences, such as Molton Brown\u2019s annual Christmas games, add to this engagement while staying aligned with the brand\u2019s luxury positioning.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a modern, digital-first way to make luxury interactive,” concluded Krishnamurthy.<\/p>\n

4. Get Strategic on Specific Social Channels<\/h2>\n

At first, many brands jump on a new social channel to open a new door to the business. Yet, Molton Brown is always cautious to create a unique experience through its channels.<\/p>\n

For instance, it sees Instagram as key for unveiling campaigns, sharing artistry, fragrance creation, craft, and heritage through rich imagery.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, TikTok is more playful and focuses on short-form engagement, such as fragrance layering tips or seasonal rituals.<\/p>\n

“Different generations gravitate to different channels, so we tailor content accordingly,” said Krishnamurthy. “What\u2019s critical is that all of this isn\u2019t siloed.”<\/p>\n

“Whether a customer discovers us via Instagram, plays with the Fragrance Finder online, or later visits Covent Garden, the journey is continuous.”<\/p>\n

While doing so, Molton Brown recognizes preferences across channels through its SAP CX stack, customer data platform (CDP), and loyalty systems.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, its goal isn\u2019t to chase every platform, but ensure one consistency: wherever customers interact, they experience the brand promise.<\/p>\n

5. Prepare for a Future of Conversational Commerce<\/h2>\n

In April 2025, OpenAI rolled out shopping in ChatGPT<\/a> following rumors of a big Spotify partnership.<\/p>\n

The announcement beckoned a future of conversational commerce, and Molton Brown is closely monitoring these developments.<\/p>\n

Krishnamurthy explained: “The opportunity for us isn\u2019t just about visibility, it\u2019s about how we show up as a luxury house.<\/p>\n

Our focus is on using AI to guide discovery in a way that feels authentic, personal, and true to our heritage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, if a customer asks for the best fragrance on a summer evening, Molton Brown hopes AI will guide them with the expertise and storytelling they expect from an associate.<\/p>\n

This focus is particularly important in fragrance and body care, a category that is naturally harder to sell online. By using AI and personalization, Molton Brown bridges the gap between digital and in-person discovery.<\/p>\n

Yet, Krishnamurthy also urged his team\u2019s caution. “Luxury is about balancing innovation with exclusivity,” he summarized. “Our priority is a connected experience across all channels.”<\/p>\n

What Else Is Molton Brown\u2019s CX Team Focusing On?<\/h2>\n

Alongside all the above, Molton Brown continues to innovate around the post-purchase experience.<\/p>\n

Recently, it has introduced tailored replenishment reminders, fragrance layering rituals, and seasonal discovery boxes. These aim to extend the luxury experience beyond the point of sale.<\/p>\n

Krishnamurthy also named sustainability a top priority after noting a trend in the number of customers asking how sustainable its products are.<\/p>\n

As such, the company has pledged to go further with its sourcing and refillable packaging. “It\u2019s integral to our customer experience and brand promise,” Krishnamurthy confirmed.<\/p>\n

Yet, Krishnamurthy and his team are constantly considering new ways to innovate around digital customer experiences. To stay up to date, follow him on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
