Shifting landscapes, evolving customer behaviours, and smart adaptions to capture Aussie engagement.
Join the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) and ThinkNewsBrands for the Marketing Perspectives Series, where some of Australia’s leading marketing experts will explore the shifting landscape of consumer behaviour.
In this exclusive event, you'll gain invaluable insights into how marketers can navigate today's macro-economic challenges, from inflation and the rising cost of living to societal shifts driven by social media, emerging technology, and the growing influence of Australia's CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) audience.
This session offers a deep dive into how Australian consumer beliefs are evolving and how businesses—and their marketing leaders—can adapt. Learn how to make smart, forward-thinking decisions that not only strengthen your brand's message but also resonate with the nation's changing sentiment.

- Amanda Gordon, AM, Former President of Australian Psychological Society
- Kathryn Illy, General Manager of Consumer Marketing at Destination NSW
- Kerry Warren, Editor at news.com.au
