B2C Customer Centric Marketing and Activation (Full Day)

Leveraging Insights to Build your Competitive Advantage
(Full Day Workshop)

In today’s highly competitive markets, the consumer has moved to the center of the conversation. For most B2C marketers, this means added complexity because the B2C sales cycle involves both channel partners and the consumer, and has many potential touchpoints. Ultimately winning companies will understand their consumer better than do their channel partners or their competitors, and this drives a sustainable competitive advantage.

A focus on consumer centricity is the key to succeeding in the complex B2C environment. Consumer-centric organizations are focused outside-in rather than inside-out.  In such organizations, the focus is on “how can we satisfy our consumers” rather than just “how can we satisfy our channel partners.”  

What do your consumers want? Why do they buy and how do they choose? What is the role your consumers want you to play? Insights drive the success of your consumer-centric focus so gaining REAL insights and understanding REAL consumer issues is the key to driving effective marketing. Gaining and using consumer insights to drive consumer-centric marketing a mission-critical focus that can elevate your marketing ROI.

Led by a former CEO of several divisions of a Fortune 200 company, this workshop shows you how to be a consumer-centric organization. You will gain an understanding of the frameworks and techniques needed to execute B2C consumer-centric strategies. You will address your own consumer-centric challenges and you will also create an activation blueprint that helps to position your brand for growth and profitability.
