CX and UX – how do they work together?

Customer experience, or CX, is the sum of all the interactions people have with your brand. This includes offline considerations as well as online.

User experience, or UX, is about the interaction users have with your product. According to DigitalGov, it “deals with people interacting with your product and the experience they receive from that interaction.” For most online marketing professionals, UX centers on a customer’s experience with a brand’s website and online marketing.
