More than twice as many consumers choose brands due to cultural influences (70%) than because of advertising (28%), reveals research from Impero Activate. The newly established division of London-based creative agency Impero also discovered just 22% of consumers know what brand they want to buy from before heading in-store, suggesting a big majority of decisions are made as people reach the shelf. Impero Activate launches with a mission to use culture to drive conversion at the point of sale and accelerate advocacy long after someone buys a product. Shopper marketing often falls into the trap of focusing on product offers and promotions, but via its latest research, the agency has identified that modern consumers value brands which create desire by tapping into culture. The new division wants to give a wider range of brands access to this approach that has made household name brands so iconic.
