About Brand Activation: Implementing the Real Drivers of Sales and Profit:
The book takes a microscope to the consumer purchase journey, examining the effectiveness of different channels and touchpoints in driving sales. It draws on global insights, our own experience and comprehensive research we conducted in collaboration with the Australian Consumer, Retail and Service Research Unit (ACRS). The research revealed a number of important insights. A key finding is that confronted with today’s digitally disruptive and over-saturated media environment, more purchase decisions are being made closer to the moment of sale. Our authors and contributors include Dr. Sean Sands, Managing Director of the Australian Consumer, Retail, and Services (ACRS), Graham Brown, CPM Alumni, and Alex McKay, CPM Chairman, Thailand and Australia.
