Hi

Welcome to November. An inspiring month that’s brought an easing of restrictions in Victoria and a real spring in the steps of many of us as we look towards planning for a new year – one where sustainability, innovation, CX and brand impact will be key to recovery and new growth.
 
To that end, I am really excited that we have completed our inaugural local study into sustainability in Australia. I want to invite you to our virtual event on Wednesday 25 November to reveal insights about the value action gap, opportunities to help resolve tensions around behaviour change and learn how your brand can proactively engage with consumers – Aussies are commanding it from their brands.

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about these or any other insights we can help you with, and forward to any colleagues who may be interested – they can use the below link to subscribe too.
 
Kind regards

NEW STUDY: Sustainability – The Australian Story

We’ve just completed our inaugural study into sustainability in Australia and found that 16% of Aussies cite sustainability as an important decision-making factor when shopping and a reason not to purchase – and that is unprompted.

Almost half of Aussies have also stopped buying certain products and services because of their impact on society (46%) and are prepared to invest their time and money to support brands that try to do good (47%).  

Please join us for this special Kantar Australia Virtual Event to:
  • hear the key insights from our inaugural study on sustainability in Australia
  • understand the concerns of our society and how behaviour is evolving
  • discover where opportunities to help resolve tensions lie
  • learn how your brand can proactively engage with a nation more focussed on sustainability than ever.
