“Trains, Planes ...... and Toilet Cleaners”

By Hamish Taylor

World Turnaround Expert & Business Consultant

Hamish Taylor has managed and advised on some of the most well known brands in the world. A marketer by training, he rose through the ranks to CEO positions where he became a customer of marketing. Hamish will share what he sees as the 4 most important challenges facing marketing teams if they are to truly “lead the business”:-

  • We need to change the way we “understand” customers
  • We need to place the customer at the core of EVERYONE’S activity
  • If you want a breakthrough, look outside your current environment
  • We need to change the way we engage with both external and, more importantly, internal customers
