Brand analysis

Sky has slightly lost ground this wave, now sitting in fifth, dropping from joint fourth in Q2 2025.

The brand has added +1 to its Overall Effort Score, but O2 has sped away with +3. With Sky just +1 above Three in sixth, the brand is in danger of falling further down the table.

Looking at the pillars, we’d advise Sky to focus on Knowledge & Expertise, which remains flat wave on wave.

In Q1 2025, we highlighted that from the end of March, more customer service calls will be routed abroad. 130 staff working at the Firstsource call centre were told they were at risk in January. We believe the CEI might now be recording the impact of this decision.
