The Customer Strategy Network (CSN) and The Wise Marketer have joined forces to launch the new 'Loyalty Academy' - the first professional certification programme for the loyalty and relationship marketing industry - starting with an exclusive one-day educational event on 18th November 2015 at the Hyatt Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Loyalty Academy offers an advanced curriculum formed from the collective resources of The Wise Marketer and CSN Partners. Individual courses are delivered by seasoned practitioners in both an online and face-to-face learning environment. The academy's faculty provides a truly global knowledge base and has developed a progressive set of training modules that reflect where the industry is today, and where it is heading.

"There has never been a more important time to build proficiency in customer loyalty and relationship marketing. Chief Marketing Officers recognise the critical implications of customer-facing strategies for their brand, and the complexities in getting the job done right," explained CSN Chairman, Mike Atkin.

The Loyalty Academy's inaugural event offers professionals a new and interactive way to discover the best practices, new trends, practical methods and techniques, and the often-hidden secrets of customer marketing in an environment designed to be a "competition-free zone". Marketing professionals who attend will not only learn from an assembled group of global, expert practitioners, but they will also earn valuable credit hours toward their Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional (CLMP) degree.

"Career opportunities in the customer marketing field are growing rapidly, with no signs of slowing demand. We think the Loyalty Academy is incredibly well-timed and its curriculum will be in very high demand, given the current lack of any disciplined certification programme in this business-critical industry," added Pete Clark, publisher of The Wise Marketer.

Michael T. Capizzi, a long-time loyalty educator, writer, speaker and CSN Partner, has been appointed to lead the Loyalty Academy as its Director of Education. The full curriculum and the requirements of the CLMP Degree programme will all be unveiled at The Loyalty Academy conference in Florida this November 18th.

Full details of the conference and how to enrol are available online now at LoyaltyAcademy.org.
