About Me

Hi, I'm Mike Anthony

Consumer, Shopper, Retail Expert

My name is Mike, and I am a trainer, consultant, keynote speaker, author and coach. My goal is to help brands and teams win at retail - globally.

Whether that's building better insights, strategies, building team capabilities, better organizations, or simply inspiring through speaking and presentations: I'm here to help.

I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the biggest names in consumer goods: Coca-Cola, Unilever, Suntory, Sony, Philips, Samsung, Electrolux, GSK, Nestle to name but a few. These clients and partners have taken me all around the world: I've worked with teams on every continent except Antarctica.

Winning at retail is hard: it requires us to understand shoppers, developing insights and strategies into how they behave and what influences them. It requires us to engage with our retail partners to deliver mutually beneficial plans: and that requires us to understand retail trends and how retailers work as well as honing skills in selling, negotiating, category management or Joint Business Planning.

So if you are in consumer goods and you want to lift your game, get in touch. I'm happy to connect and see how I can help: whether its an inspirational and insightful presentation at your next conference, training for your team or a new strategic approach: I'm here to help.

Do You Want to Improve Your Business?

I've helped all types of business: small and large; agencies, manufacturers and retailers build their insights, capabilities and strategies. If you want to improve your business results at retail, be it better sales, better activations or a better return on investment, get in touch now.
