Ladies and Gentlemen,
The challenges FMCG sector companies have to face every day are more than
numerous!
These are, among others: commercial consolidations, growing competitiveness,
a strengthening role of private label products, strong price pressure and the
shrinking sales volume of branded products.
„4 BRANDINGS”:
a workshop that turns the conventional way
of managing the brand just upside down!
28 – 29 November 2013
Even despite this complex situation, still many FMCG companies successfully
implement the strategy of a constant and consistent effort to promote the benefits
of branded products and the real added value they offer among customers.
The speakers we have invited are going to demonstrate how they manage to respond
to the contemporary customer needs by means of a well-selected and
a robustly managed product portfolio and a mature distribution and promotion
strategies which fit given sales channels. All the presentations this year have
a common denominator of the final result they induce: the stronger position
of branded products in a highly competitive market.
Partners:
The “A-Brand. Winning hearts, minds and ... shelfspace” Forum continues with
the “FMCG Forum” subject matter, enabling us to get to know efficient commercial
strategies of FMCG market leaders who support strong brands!

Project Manager
3rd FMCG FORUM: A-BRAND IS:

A discussion with an exchange of inspirations on successful marketing

to allow for the unique adjustment of the meeting agenda accordingly
to one’s preferences

some unique experience, networking and discussions
