What's it about
Consumers have gained increased power with digital disruption being the catalyst of people empowerment. Because of the shift from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism, the rise of the experience economy and the global pandemic, consumers have only gained more 'power'.
A shift is needed from marketing to consumers, to mattering to people. From brand centric, to consumer centric.
What you will learn
In this workshop, you will learn about the 3 gaps between consumers and brands that need to be closed ('empathy gap', 'relevance gap' and 'experience gap') and what the steps are you can to take to make it happen.
After the workshop the attendees will be able to craft a plan that will help them to increase the influence and impact of the insights function on the business and create an eco-system of research tools that will help to install consumer centricity.
