What Mazaru does

Mazaru Limited is a UK-based independent customer experience (CX) agency founded in 1994 that designs, optimises, and audits customer communications across voice, digital, and human channels. Its service portfolio spans CX Audits, IVR & music design, bot and virtual assistant development, conversation design, effective communications (letters, emails, knowledge bases), user journey mapping, training/QA/coaching, and design/video production. The firm serves enterprise clients across telco, retail, insurance, financial services, automotive, utilities, hospitality, charity, and education — including Sky, Tesco, John Lewis, Waitrose, Chubb, Sage, Direct Line Group, Capital One, Mercedes Benz, RAC, UCAS, NWG, and the National Trust. Documented engagement outcomes include 80%+ IVR transfer reductions, 10–30% self-service gains, and £80K–£456K annual cost savings per client.

The firm's technology stack centres on two proprietary brands: AI Agent DNA®, a methodology defining AI agent persona and behaviour, and Mazaru Insights®, a behavioural-science + AI analytics platform powered by a technology partnership with Humanotics, which analyses effort, confidence, rapport, readability, sentiment, tone, jargon, and basics across customer communications. Supporting infrastructure includes the MyMazaru client portal. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, Cyber Essentials, and IASME Governance certifications, and won Gold at the UK Customer Experience Awards 2022.

Commercially, Mazaru operates a B2B professional services model with project-based, quote-based engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise sales via the website ("Book a Call"), inside sales through a dedicated phone line, and consultative selling starting with CX Audits. The company is privately held, founder/owner-operated, with no disclosed external investment, and is based across London and Mold, Flintshire. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
