Why we exist
Reaching shoppers ought to be the first line on brands’ marketing plans - often, it’s the last.
It ought to be most effective and accountable investment a brand can make - sadly, all too often it is the lowest-priority line on the plan and the least well understood.
Shopper marketing ought to be a top priority for both the sales and the marketing team - an opportunity to create real growth for your brand. In reality it can be viewed as somewhere between a retailer tax and a limited brand communications opportunity, with neither the volume-generating power of secondary display nor the pzazz and sexiness of digital or social.
