INSIGHTS

Each phase of the pandemic has come with a shift in consumer needs, expectations, and purchasing behavior. In the last three months, we have seen:

Essentials becoming non-essentials
Non-essentials becoming a pantry staple
New innovations spaces opening up due to changes in customer dynamic
Increasing competition from small, independent businesses
Abrupt changes in decision-making behavior

With the consumers evolving at hyper-speed, businesses should review their marketing commercial strategy and ensure that they address the dynamic needs and behavior of the consumer.

BUSINESS IMPERATIVES

When everything seeming so volatile, it is important to have a good grasp of the core values of Filipino consumers as these drive their behavior and decisions, no matter the situation. Insights derived from these values lend foresight for a sound Brand Positioning and Brand Strategy that:

Deeply understands the enduring values of the Filipinos that influence and motivate customer behavior
Unlocks what's core to Filipinos to defend or improve your position in the market
Innovates to re-position your brand and build brand relevance
Yields a simple, agile business and marketing plan that is easy to implement and equally easy to pivot i.e. low sunk cost, flexible investments
