Essentialism – understanding the new black of audience behaviour

Essentialism is the new frontier principle of audience behaviour borne out of the seismic shift in the way we live, work and play, brought about by the COVID-19 crisis. Communities have needed to adapt dramatically to the unfolding pandemic, finding a new rhythm in all facets of life, albeit still with a dose of the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Most have needed to pare back to what is absolutely essential in life – people, time spent and consumption, either out of necessity or a desire to take the opportunity to reset, in this once-in-one-hundred-year great reset moment. Join leading branding and business development expert Gillian Fish, as she unfolds what is Essentialism and how it impacts your brand. This information will help you leverage the principles for better client engagement and business growth.

  • Essentialism the new frontier of wellbeing
  • Macro and micro-trends influencing this philosophy
  • What actions we need to take to drive audience engagement, brand growth and ROI
