Improving performance
OPPORTUNITIES
In a changing retail environment increasingly dominated by a few e-commerce giants, brands have greater opportunities than ever.
CPG and FMCG manufacturers are also facing complex challenges in the 21st century—among them saturation in mature markets, polarization between market concentration, volatile sourcing and materials markets, and changing consumer behavior. Both B2C and B2B environments are facing unprecedented disruptions from ecommerce and multi-channel shopping. Businesses have to successfully master how to engage customers over all channels and customer touch-points. We can capture great growth opportunities when we apply our resources with purpose.
From sourcing and supply chain, to category management and marketing, to ESG and risk management for executive teams and boards, each and every aspect of the business now requires a reorientation. Companies have to exploit new market opportunities while adjusting to the ecommerce-driven reality that modern customers expect – including immediate online transactions and swift same-day delivery where possible.
Online digital media marketing offers great opportunities to maintain your voice with the customer. Harnessing this potential requires balancing ROI online and offline and must be supported by Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and real-time analytics combined with comprehensive after-the-fact reviews.
In this environment, best-in-class companies are using:
- Strategy to integrate all sales channels
- Capturing lost sales
- Real-time marketing campaign tactics
- Thorough post-mortem review
- Deciding how to best partner with commerce platforms
We are experts in managing such challenges and strengthening your company’s competitive edge. Working with global leaders and technology, we support CPG clients to find effective, deployable, and reliable solutions. We provide strategies that work, and we know how to improve, re-engineer, and restructure a business to best meet our clients’ financial, operational, and shareholder needs.
