Global Loyalty Innovators 1st issue: GEMS Rewards by Manav Fernandez

In the very first issue of Global Loyalty Innovators, we feature Manav Fernandez (CLMP), the co-founder of a successful loyalty and CRM consulting company, Quick Brown Fox Consulting, who takes us on a journey through his local loyalty landscape: Dubai, UAE.

In his interview for the report, Manav nominates GEMS Rewards as an example of a loyalty program breaking new grounds and pioneering the loyalty ecosystem of his local market. 

Without revealing too much, GEMS Rewards is an education-focused loyalty program created as a response to the inflated - and still rising - private school fees shouldered by families in the region. With 90% of the Dubai population hailing from non-Arabic speaking countries, the issue GEMS Rewards seeks to alleviate doesn’t spare almost anyone. 

Even so, Manav’s chosen loyalty program doesn’t just underscore the intricacies of the cultural context it’s intertwined with, it does a lot more. While GEMS Rewards may not ring as familiar as the likes of McDonald’s or Sephora, it has defied the odds and achieved widespread regional success thanks to its smart approach, innovative use of loyalty mechanics, and keen strategic foresight.
