Mike ran a full day workshop at our recent Global Marketing Conference. He was engaging and informative; flexible and energetic. The audience was very diverse, but Mike pitched it perfectly. He is clearly an expert in marketing and shopper marketing – he introduced a lot of new concepts but made it really easy for everyone to absorb regardless of their background. We’ve already invited Mike back for next year!

Mike recently chaired the Connected Marketing Summit, held in Melbourne on 22 April 2015. The event was quite large being co-located with 11 other similar conferences, and for myself as the producer it was nothing short of a blessing to have someone as hands-on with the topic, flexible and forthcoming to chair the conference. As an expert thought leader in the retail environment, Mike went beyond the usual drill that was expected of a chairperson. He actively participated in all the pre-event marketing buzz, engaging 100s of attendees around a core vision, addressing critical industry issues while also adding a much-needed dash of humor and facilitating some very active panel discussions on customer loyalty and insights. I’d gladly welcome the opportunity to work with Mike again!

Keynotes

Keynote by Mike Anthony: Retail Media: How Retail Media challenges brand strategy

Retail Media is booming, as retailers pivot from a model based on selling TO shoppers towards a model based on selling shoppers as an audience. This changes the media environment, but much more than that. It challenges the way suppliers interact with retailers, how sales teams interact with marketing teams, and how businesses manage the entire path to purchase.

Learn about why retail media is so important, now, the impact it is having of brands and the companies that own them, and what brand owners need to do to change the way they work and market their brands.
