Marketing is more important than ever. With consumers choosing products, brands and services not just based on price but on sentiment, affinity and their ethical credentials, its key for marketers to get it right or miss out on a completely new and dynamic consumer.
The grocery sector has been acutely impacted by this change, with customers changing shops and products more frequently than ever before. From supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury’s to FMCG brands including Nestle, Unilever, Mondelez and more, £billions are being spent to retain customer loyalty in a treacherous marketplace.
