How Cultural Shifts are reshaping Australia’s consumption patterns and media engagement.

Australian’s have recently experienced some challenging years.

We’ve survived COVID and entered straight into a cost-of-living crisis. Even before this, happiness and mental health indicators have been declining and debt levels rising to some of the highest in the Western World. Coupled with our always-on culture, Australians are feeling numb and disillusioned, and as a result we are changing what we are looking for in the types of products and services we consume, and changing the way we interact with media.

Join us, alongside some of Australia's leading Service, FMCG, and B2B businesses, as we delve into the implications of this evolving Australian psyche and what it means for Australian businesses.

In this webinar, we'll uncover the driving forces behind these behavioural shifts and explore the opportunities and risks they present. We'll offer insights on how businesses can adapt their services, products, and communication strategies to remain authentic and relevant in the eyes of consumers, while mitigating risks and capitalising on emerging opportunities in this changing landscape.
