Today’s consumer industries is marked by rapid change and constant disruption in global consumer, retail, and supply markets. The rise of the digital consumer, direct-to-consumer (D2C) subscription services, and new digital touchpoints and channels in the purchase journey are bringing new moments of opportunity to augment established business models and marketing approaches. They offer the potential for huge rewards through sales growth, insight, and customer lifetime value to those that succeed in directly engaging and retaining consumers’ trust and loyalty.
The playbook is being rewritten as new players emerge and traditional players are forced to rethink their business models.

Overcoming the challenges and drive growth are not just essential for the CMO, they are crucial for the business’s growth. Today’s winners are those that can spot opportunities at hyper-granular levels and then capture them quickly.

They operate as data-centric companies growing first party relationships and first party data. They manufacture products for consumers based on demand and evolving needs, whilst maintaining consumer trust, privacy and compliance.
