How Customer Loyalty Is Shifting in 2025 | CEO’s Desk with Mark Johnson
In this episode of The CEO’s Desk, Loyalty360 CEO Mark Johnson unpacks key insights from the 2025 State of Customer Loyalty Report, including year-over-year trends, strategic shifts, and executive sentiment around loyalty programs.
Why did the number of brands planning loyalty program overhauls drop from 79% in 2024 to 64% in 2025?
What’s driving a 10-point increase in executive support for loyalty?
What does “operationalizing loyalty” really mean—and how are brands doing it?
We explore the realignment of priorities among leading brands, including:
The decline in reward innovation and the rise of personalization
Growing executive buy-in and enterprise-wide support for customer loyalty programs
Challenges with brand partnerships, gamification, and integrating new technologies
The shift away from broad acquisition tactics toward deepening value for existing members
