Turning consumer behavior changes into opportunities

Shifts in consumer behavior are the one constant in the highly competitive, ever-evolving CG&R industry. The pandemic and post-pandemic market changes have been as sudden as they have been radical, and there is a belief that this “new normal” is here to stay. Acknowledging these changes and understanding their implications is key for any consumer-facing company to cater effectively to its clients and stay ahead of the game.

 

With the emergence of new digital and direct-to-consumer approaches championed by young and digitally native brands, market participants need to double down on digital strategies. Success will require capitalizing on synergies between innovative stationary retail concepts and (new forms of) e-commerce and social commerce.

 

Retailers, brand owners and manufacturers can count on us when it comes to identifying consumer trends and market opportunities. Our interdisciplinary teams of experienced experts support clients in developing strategy, designing new business models, and shaping the necessary transformations. Advising on game-changing transactions while optimizing clients’ strategic and financial goals is what we do best.

 

Successful organizations identify changing customer needs early and adapt quickly.
