Preparing for a digital future: Why winning in eComm is a marathon not a sprint
The pace of change for consumer packaged goods brands has never been faster: in an ever-evolving marketplace, it’s important to balance traditional retailer relationships as well as optimising new channels like Amazon in order to drive growth in 2020 and beyond.
