Keynote + Workshop
Tony premiered this keynote at Google Think 2018. In his talk he outlines the forces contributing to the Brand New World and what role brands have within in. Tony draws upon case studies to identify two key insights - ‘more and less’ that are powering the best performing new and existing brands
This talk is packed with actionable insights and ideas, for Retailers, Hospitality and Tourism Operators, and any other business who relies on a physical location to conduct business. The 6 P’s that once drove profitable traffic to your door - Premise, Product, Promotion, Price, Place and People are being neutered by the Platform Economy which has put the world each consumer desires within arms reach. Players such as Amazon, Apple, Alibaba, Shopify, airbnb, Uber, Netflix, Skip and thousands more have hijacked the mobile phone as a Trojan Horse, to digital matchmake sellers to consumers with hyper-personalized offers that are delivered with precision. In 15 years they have rewritten the rules of capitalism and combined have a market cap in excess of $7.1 trillion dollars.
To counter the Platform Economy, operators must pivot from a place to buy which is impossible to defend to the place to be, a territory steeped in emotion and personal experience that only a physical space can offer. To illustrate his points, Tony Chapman draws upon global case studies, customized to your sector, to share how you can identify the Be’s that are relevant to your consumer and your brand.
Key takeaways:
• Why the 6 P’s are under siege by digital-based disruptors in the Platform Economy.
• Identify the two points of entry where you are most vulnerable to disruption.
• How focusing on the right ‘Be’s’ will enable you to attract guests, increase spend, develop better talent, and guide your messaging and offer, and spark innovation.
