Speaker 1 - Rob McLeod - Comet Global Consulting.

“I have an opportunity for you…”
That’s a phrase I’ve come to reflect on as a firm retort to fellow marketers who drear at the changes experienced in the consumer sphere in recent times. When you look at some of the headlines of data-driven perspectives on consumer finances today you really can’t help but be overcome by “doom and gloom”:
Aging population
Move from buying to renting
“Polarisation” of population
Generation gap
Tech changes and automation
Loss of confidence in financial suppliers
But when you challenge what consumer data really tells us, I’m not hearing necessarily that the future will be worse – rather that it will most certainly be different.
Rob will be here to discuss these points in details - See full blog - www.cometgc.com (www.cometgc.com)
