Saltmine Design Group has worked extensively with Frucor Suntory over the last decade on consumer promotions, brand ideation, packaging design and activation across their brand portfolio including V Energy Drink and Maximus.

In this on-stage interview, Sara and Mark will discuss:

  • Why we can’t group all millennials together. The motivations and behaviours of an 18 year old are very different to a 34 year old.
  • How the changes in the formative years of millennials is shaping their motivations and behaviours within Food and Beverage.
  • How to reach and engage millennial shoppers. For example, how millennials value experiences over possessions.
  • Why the way we speak to millennials needs to change - brands need to stop interrupting millennials. They can easily sniff out bullshit and value truthfulness.
  • How having the right approach to your visual branding and identity can drive successful commercial outcomes as demonstrated through Frucor Suntory campaigns.
  • Why brands need to be constantly evolving their below the line presence.
