What is driving change: the role of stakeholder management
While the concepts that sit behind ESG are certainly not new - and have been at the centre of corporate strategy for decades - the growth and formalisation of ESG as an explicit mission have been catalysts for change.

Mobile
Over the past few years, we have seen an increased proliferation of mobile across the world. Not only have we seen the number of mobile users grow worldwide, but we’ve witnessed increased engagement of consumers with their mobile devices for a variety of everyday activities, whether it’s watching videos, shopping and making purchases, or simply accessing the internet. We are now past the mobile tipping point, with mobile overtaking fixed internet access in many markets, across developed and developing economies.

Consequently, many of the planned brand exposures are missed and recall relevancy is eroding faster than expected.
