After 40 Years Powering Customer Communications for the UK's Leading Brands, MBA Group Launches Pulse

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 9, 2026--

MBA Group, a leader in customer communications for both print and digital, today announces a major new expansion with the launch of its brand-new conversation intelligence platform, MBA Pulse.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260909816930/en/

For over 40 years, MBA has worked with major regulated brands, including industry giants such as AMEX, Deloitte, Legal and General, and National Trust, and this next step marks an exciting period for the Group, whose new platform will fully integrate with current tech stacks, coordinating workflows and delivery.

With a huge increase in AI adoption across organisations and many teams rolling out agents and automation, businesses are at risk of compounding issues in current workflows, rather than addressing the problem of siloed working. This is further demonstrated by research from Aspire CCS, which has found only 13% of organisations describe themselves as fully integrated. MBA Group has used four decades of customer communications expertise to address this problem; Pulse can solve siloed workflow problems and improve customer communications without having to entirely replace existing tech. The Pulse technology is easily implemented into enterprises, and additionally, there are several ways a business can choose to integrate it.

Unlike many platforms in this space, which require businesses to rip out and rebuild their existing technology stack, Pulse integrates directly with what's already there. It’s able to connect to existing systems, data sources and communication tools rather than replacing them, allowing businesses to modernise their communications without disrupting the infrastructure they already rely on.

The flexibility of Pulse also extends to the operational level. MBA Pulse can consolidate large customer communication chains into one platform, giving teams the ability to set up multi-channel campaigns in under ten minutes. Built around four connected capabilities: View, Create, Orchestrate, and Deploy, Pulse unifies fragmented data and siloed channels into a single, reliable customer view. To demonstrate the flexibility of the platform, businesses can manage the full platform themselves, hand it over entirely to Pulse to run on their behalf, or take a hybrid approach. In practice, this may look like running the ‘Create’ in-house while Pulse manages ‘Orchestrate’ and ‘Deploy’. There is flexibility with scaling support up or down as needs change.

MBA Group, as an entity, is a family-run powerhouse competing with major industry giants. Sami Aintaoui, CEO of MBA Group, comments on Pulse, sharing “We built Pulse as the first comprehensive customer experience platform for complex businesses. A modular platform that can be used as a powerful supplement within your existing stack, or as a pre-integrated comms ecosystem in its own right. No longer do you need one tool for marketing and another for servicing. Pulse is a unified platform that empowers your teams to do more and marks the next step in our own evolution, from output partner to the technology behind how brands actually talk to their customers.”

Key features of Pulse

Feature-level detail per module of the platform includes:

Pulse can be fully implemented within five weeks, with some businesses already seeing a 76% uplift on industry average in customer engagement

Compared to other market players, some of whom have legacy standings in the industry, Pulse promises a refreshing implementation process, taking just five weeks to implement into an existing business, no matter the size of the enterprise. The agility and sheer capabilities of the platform are something that current customers have openly praised.

One of those is Dan Young, Head of Process Improvement at OutsideClinic. Young states, “If we work out the time it's saved from other people, we're now spending a lot less time having to try and get cohorts of data together, and sending things off to the print house where it would then need to be proofed to make sure it's printed correctly. Whilst within Pulse, you can do all of that instantly."

OutsideClinic has already seen and measured tangible results. With their customer communications, they’ve already seen a 35% increase in open rates (a 76% uplift on industry averages) and a 6x increase in email enquiries, directly from using Pulse.

At the moment, through wider use cases, there are over 9 million customers receiving communications through Pulse, with billions of data points being processed at a rate and quality which isn’t possible with legacy technology.

Beyond OutsideClinic, current customers using Pulse include Currys, OVO Energy, Affinity Water, The Atlanta and MarkerStudy Insurance Group, Melton Building Society and Funding Circle.

Paris Saint-Germain enters the Champions League arena Wednesday as the two-time title holder heads a heavyweight lineup of six games.

PSG hosts Slovan Bratislava one day after 10 players in coach Luis Enrique’s squad were nominated on the shortlist of 30 for the Ballon d’Or award.

Arsenal, the beaten finalist in May, starts in Napoli after topping the 36-team standings last season with eight straight wins and as the only unbeaten club.

Six-time European champion Liverpool, under new Spanish coach Andoni Iraola, hosts Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the opening round one year ago that was won 3-2 on captain Virgil van Dijk’s stoppage-time header.

Five-time champion Barcelona also starts at home against Feyenoord, which is coached by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who returns to Camp Nou where he spent four years as a player and won the Champions League in 2006.

That is one of the two early kickoffs at 6:45 p.m. (1645 GMT) in Central Europe. At the same time, debutant Viking from Norway will start at Stuttgart.

Sporting Lisbon also hosts Galatasaray in the 9 p.m. (1900 GMT) kickoffs.

PSG arrives at the Champions League, after failing to win any of its first three games in Ligue 1, hosting a Slovakian champion which lost all eight games when the 36-team league format debuted two years ago.

Still, Luis Enrique typically has his team peaking in the second half of the season where titles are won and lost.

In back-to-back Champions League title seasons, PSG placed just 11th and 15th in the 36-team standings and had to go through the knockout playoffs round in February.

PSG also has eight players who were involved in the longest-ever World Cup until the final weekend in mid-July and had a shorter offseason break.

Slovan coach Yaya Touré will make Champions League history as the first African to lead a team into the main phase of the competition.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone is approaching 15 years at the club and starts his 14th straight season in the Champions League. His team was the beaten finalist — both times against Real Madrid — in his first and third tries to win the European title that still eludes the club.

Atletico has lost its last two visits to Anfield, though a 3-2 extra-time win there in March 2020 eliminated then-title holder Liverpool in the round of 16.
