Wine Tasting & Dinner

November 20, 2024

Summary

The consumer relationship you cannot afford to miss?

In 2024, digital transformation and shifting media landscapes are redefining how brands connect with consumers. As traditional media's influence shrinks, direct-to-consumer models, driven by social channels and real-time engagement, are becoming critical for success.  Our annual FMCG dinner will delve into these transformative changes, with a particular focus on how both established and emerging brands can leverage digital tools to enhance customer experience, loyalty and drive strategic growth.

Learning about behaviour, gaining live feedback is critical to scale - for smaller brands this allows them to enter multi-brand retail more confidently and for larger brands it’s the glue behind heightened customer experiences. 

So if you fancy some good food, great company, and a few glasses of wine, join us for an exceptional networking event where you'll gain invaluable insights, practical solutions, and connect with some of the brightest minds in the field!

  • Digital Growth Strategies: Best practices and innovative strategies for leveraging digital channels to drive brand growth
  • Media Landscape: How has this changed?
