“Mike is a passionate speaker with good sense of humor and strong track-record in brand and shopper marketing” – Head of Business Intelligence & Strategic Planning- Carlsberg



“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 humour and facilitating some very active panel discussions on customer loyalty and insights. I’d gladly welcome the opportunity to work with Mike again!” Devika Adlakha – Digital Event Organizer, Criterion Conferences



“Mike presented a full day's conference plus deliver back-to-back workshops: his enthusiasm and dynamic energy remained at a consistently high infectious tempo. Mike was an inspiration and our customers who had truly appreciated his professionalism and expertise in the field of Shopper Marketing” – Cass Le – Marketing Director Tetra Pak



“From our first telecon, through to the months of preparations, and finally to the last day of the long working week where Mike had to present a full day's conference plus deliver back-to-back workshops, his enthusiasm and dynamic energy remained at a consistently high infectious tempo. Mike was an inspiration and our customers who had truly appreciated his professionalism and expertise in the field of Shopper Marketing. I would highly recommend Mike and I look forward to working with Mike again in the future.”

Many commentators are talking about e-commerce but few are considering the real impact on marketing. E-commerce affects your on and offline business, causing brands to lose distribution, profit and to even die completely. In this presentation I share the key trends in the global retail market, the implications for brands, and key actions brands must take to survive and thrive

2. Retail disruption – e-commerce changes ALL of your sales models

Retail is changing – and it is more than just e-commerce. Changes in retail drive changes in shopper behavior, and vice versa. Businesses that don’t put the shopper at the heart of their model will fail.  In this presentation I share the key trends in the global retail market, the implications for brands, and key actions brands must take to survive and thrive

3. How technology is changing retail and shopping

A look at the main technology trends in shopping and retail and the impact that has on shopper behavior, manufacturers and retailers – and what businesses should do about it.

4. Shopper Insights For Growth

Most organizations don’t understand shoppers well enough, and that drives costs and means that opportunities are missed. In this presentation I discuss the difference between consumers and shoppers, why this is important, and how leading organizations are using shopper insights to drive massive growth.
