In today’s world, our markets are increasingly more fragmented, and our consumers more demanding. We need to transform our Marketing to collectively improve our operational effectiveness, while we engage our consumers more deeply with the development of quicker and more impactful innovation, the activation of sharper digital plans, and the creation of breakthrough and award-winning brand and product storytelling.
The latter especially requires a strong consumer centric approach, with a deeper knowledge of local consumer insights and cultural trends, so that our communication can resonate more deeply. For this reason, two new Brand Company Functions are being created, located in “Drive markets” (markets representative of a strategic consumer archetype for the brand), to ensure the development of exceptional brand and product communications: “Creative Content Managers” (content development) and “Market Activation Managers” (markets coordination and broadcast).
