BRK: digital transformation to delight consumers
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent years, BRK, one of the largest private basic sanitation companies in Brazil, has undergone a rapid digital transformation, prioritizing the customer experience. Several advancements have been achieved, such as the implementation of the WhatsApp channel, the consolidation of the digital agencies 'My BRK', and the innovation through the launch of a new hybrid agency format, integrating both physical and digital environments. However, the company faces the dilemma of how to continue investing in digital transformation and solidify the centrality of the customer. The case is written from the perspective of the customer relationship manager and discusses how it's possible to place and keep the consumer at the forefront in a Utilities sector where this practice is unusual. The case was designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students in management and marketing courses, specifically for courses in service marketing, consumer experience, or sales management.
