EngagingCEOs WP2. Conscious Consumerism Can Change Brand Behaviour - Woven Agency. In a year where the marketing holy grail of divining pattern from chaos has been even harder than usual, one trend seems to be staying the course: that of conscious consumerism.
Far from being derailed by macro concerns such as Brexit and Covid-19, conscious consumerism is growing in popularity. The rise of socially conscious movements such as veganism, recycling, upcycling, plastic-free production, gender pay equality – as well as the looming spectre of climate change – show that conscious consumerism will only become more important. Research agency Walnut’s 2019 report ‘The Rise of Conscious Consumers’ found that 75% of Brits are ‘consciously modifying their behaviour when it comes to consumer items. Plastic, non-recyclable materials, dairy, meat, sugar and even clothes are among those products we are beginning to reconsider our consumption of’, the report says. Such a widespread move towards conscious consumerism is something brands can’t ignore.
Jamila Gordon: How AI can help shatter barriers to equality. Transform magazine: Five minutes with Paul Archer - 2021 - Articles. How has your company Duel helped challenge brands’ reliance on digital platforms, such as facebook?
For online brands, digital advertising and performance marketing on platforms like Facebook have dominated marketing strategies worldwide largely because campaigns can be segmented, optimised, measured and attributed, making them easy to justify in budgets. But with competition on the rise, costs skyrocketing and returns diminishing, as well as a rapidly changing consumer dynamic and the financial impact of Covid-19, this short-term approach is no longer cutting it. Instead Duel helps companies build communities of advocates (happy customers, employees, partners, industry professionals etc) who trust their brand and promote it to their friends, family and peers thereby driving true organic word of mouth growth.
This is a much more sustainable approach for brands in the long term rather than pumping money into the likes of Facebook. For Marketers, 2021 Is Year Of Earning Consumer Trust 01/07/2021. As we reflect on the hope a new year can bring, marketers who want to make a lasting impact on 2021 will have one resolution at the top of their list: earning, building, and keeping consumer trust.
Here’s why trust is shaping up to be the tenet of 2021: Consumers demand—and deserve—transparent relationships. Sixty-six percent of respondents in a recent Accenture survey said they are attracted to companies that are transparent about what they do, how they operate, and how they treat their employees and customers. Brands are thinking hard about how to create that transparency, and to build authentic relationships with customers. One area that requires immediate action is the collection and use of customer data. TTG - Travel industry news - Industry needs to restore ‘damaged’ consumer trust.
Why data security needs to be “baked in” to healthcare to earn consumer trust. The digital transformation of healthcare has been progressing at pace since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic; but in the midst of rapid innovation, earning the trust of consumers is still vital.
What lies on the horizon for healthcare in 2021? After a year in which remote healthcare technology, or telemedicine, saw rapid and widespread uptake as a means of treating patients safely during a pandemic, the healthcare sector has made huge gains in terms of digital maturity. At the same time, there are still obstacles in the way of its transformation.
Trust in the Media: How We Lost it and How we Can Regain it - Bywire Decentralised News: Unbiased, Truthful & Free. Few than four in ten people say they typically trust the news.
That’s the stark takeaway from a recent report from Reuters Institute entitled What we Know and What we Think we Know.

Loyalty programmes play central role in Singapore consumer considerations. Loyalty programmes have become central in the bid to attract and retain Singapore’s customers in both the immediate and longer-term, according to a new report by payments software firm FIS.
The report found that when choosing where to purchase an item, 81% of consumers in Singapore will choose to spend with a retailer they have a loyalty programme with over one where there is no existing relationship. Seventy-six percent also agree that being part of a loyalty programme encourages them to spend more with their retailer.
The research also revealed that there is potential for retailers to do more in this space. Singapore consumers currently have limited engagement with loyalty programmes, with almost half (48%) stating that they do not belong to a programme. The best feature for attracting sign-ups to loyalty programmes in Singapore is non-expiring points. In addition, local consumers are now more open to using ‘buy now, pay later’ (BNPL) programmes for smaller purchases.

Microsoft India CMO: the future of marketing is more accountability, less vanity. Even though she has been at Microsoft for many years, Hitu Chawla took over the role of chief marketing officer for Microsoft India in 2020 amid the pandemic.
The new age CMO – or CMTO as she calls it – will have to do many things differently: from learning and reinventing virtual events to getting past vanity KPIs of clicks and views and being accountable for business, and much more, for marketers to earn a seat at the business table “If you hit a wall, climb over it, crawl under it, or dance on top of it.” If the last year has taught us anything, it is this. When I took over as a remote CMO six months ago, I had anticipated challenges, but I never imagined how fluid 2020 would be. A pivotal year, it transformed how we live, work, connect and communicate. It’s almost like relearning and rethinking the building blocks of B2B marketing for a new playbook. Agility and reinventing will be the way forward.

Healthy lifespan analysis using nematodes: New technology enables the search for genes and substances that could extend healthy lifespans. A research group from Kumamoto University (Japan) has developed an automated measurement system to assess healthy lifespans using nematodes (C. elegans). Based on qualitative differences in lifespans, this system can classify populations of nematodes that are, on average, healthy and long-lived, healthy and die prematurely, and living with long periods of poor health.
Since there are many similarities between the mechanisms that determine the lifespan of C. elegans and humans, the researchers believe that this system will make it easier to develop drugs and find foods that extend the healthy lifespan of humans. The concept of "healthy life expectancy" was proposed in the year 2000 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is an important indicator for the health of a population. It refers to the average life expectancy minus the period of living dependent on continuous medical or nursing care. 1) sensitivity to various stimuli at room temperature, Newspoint] The irrelevance of objectivity. AI illustrator draws imaginative pictures to go with text captions. By Chris Stokel-Walker OpenAI A neural network uses text captions to create outlandish images – such as armchairs in the shape of avocados – demonstrating it understands how language shapes visual culture.

Getty Images announces $20k bursary to support creatives telling LGBTQ stories. © Tristan Fewings/Getty Images for Pride In London As we all know, the LGBTQ community has a rich and vibrant history that has often been overlooked by mainstream society. Through the decades before the birth of the Gay Liberation Movement in the late 1960s, the growth of annual Pride parades across the globe, to the queer pioneers who trail-blazed a path for us all to follow, historically we’ve had to seek out these narratives that still remain absent from textbooks and mainstream media. Things are slowly getting better, but the community still relies on allies to help shine a spotlight on emerging creatives and storytellers to record history for the next generation of LGBTQ people.
