Event Details

In today’s volatile business environment—marked by economic instability, geopolitical tensions, and relentless market competition— one of the first executive decisions on the table is: should organisations cut marketing budgets during difficult economic times, or continue investing to protect long-term growth?

 

Whether your organisation is facing economic uncertainty, internal performance pressures, or disruptive market shifts, this interactive masterclass, led by Dr Daniel Hampson, will equip you with the tools to:

  • Understand the “Why” Behind Retrenchment
  • Differentiate Strategy from Short-Term Fix
  • Safeguard brand equity without sacrificing market relevance
