Our rebranding and repositioning announced today is a major step for the company, as it enables us to better reflect these commitments”, Jacques Stern, Global Blue President and CEO.
As Global Blue considered all the ways to reintroduce itself to the wider world, it sought a defining signature that embodies its values and vision. ‘Enjoy the Journey’ is the mantra of its commitment to enhance the shopping experience.
Guiding clients and partners
This rebranding continues to propel Global Blue partners and clients to the next level of customer experience, without compromising on the quality of service throughout this transition and beyond.
During this repositioning, Global Blue is focused on seamlessly facilitating the shopper's journey across all touchpoints.
