About the forum
Companies often pay lip service to people as their 'greatest asset', but many fail to integrate their marketing and people strategies to enable staff to contribute to growth. Deloitte Australia consistently puts its people at the centre of product, sales and brand campaigns, and equips them to build Deloitte's brand. Deloitte is a strong advocate of using social media to collaborate with staff, share ideas, build businesses, recruit top talent and drive media campaigns.

Leaders Forum | Changing Consumer Values and Attitudes
Tue 14 April 2009
Sydney
CMO's from different industries, and special guest Rebecca Huntley of Ipsos Mackay, examined changing attitudes and values, revealing unique insights into a dynamic consumer marketplace.
Generation ‘Y’ is showing more resilience than expected in the face of the GFC, while ‘Boomers’ are anything but the “carefree and cashed up 50-somethings” portrayed in the media. The effects of rising unemployment and high levels of personal debt could produce a rapid shift in consumer mood. Interestingly however, changing consumption patterns are creating unique opportunities to persuade consumers to change brands or try new products.
Leaders Forum | Marketing Our Way Out of Recession
Tue 31 March 2009
Sydney
Marketing leaders from a dozen of Australia's largest advertisers participated in this Forum, and it was clear that they all have effective strategies for driving growth in their companies. Their confidence comes from understanding changing consumer attitudes to spending and they are re-gearing their offerings accordingly.
Some key out-takes:
- Australia is not slipping into recession, we've been there since last May or even earlier!
- Marketers have a 2-3 month window of opportunity: interest rates are down, people have more money in their pockets, unemployment hasn't yet spiked, people are still spending.
- Appeal to the 'smart shopper'. Consumers are looking to maximise value and appear 'frugal'.
- When the recovery comes, aim to be remembered as the company that handled things well in the recession.
- Expect cuts to your marketing budget and plan for them. Don't let the bean counters distract you from your core marketing strategy!
There was a shared belief that advertising can play a vital role in lessening the economic impact of recession and speeding the recovery. Government can protect jobs by encouraging confidence in businesses of all sizes to advertise, boosting consumer demand, instead of imposing further regulatory restrictions on advertisers.
