At TLC we help the world’s biggest brands drive customer acquisition, loyalty and engagement with emotionally engaging experience‑led rewards. From global banks to high street retailers our programs are designed to shift behaviour, boost ROI and build genuine brand love at the fraction of the cost of discounting and cash offers. Backed by COSMOS our all‑in‑one program platform we deliver personalised campaigns at scale with live data, smart insights and seamless customer journeys.

We’ve spent 30 years mastering what moves customers; combining deep consumer insight, a global network of 100,000 rewards and a unique ability to drive measurable ROI for brands.
