Marketing is developing at an accelerated pace and has long had no national identity. However, the main driver for the implementation of advanced technologies remains rapidly changing consumer demand and the emergence of new communication channels. What used to be trendy a year ago is already outdated as a non-effective platform or found a new vector of development.
Fortunately, in the modern world there are still unexplored marketing promotion methods that one can learn from other countries. One of the modern trends is the shift of attention to China and its practices of communication with the consumer.
To unravel mysteries of brand building and become acquainted with groundbreaking directions in global marketing, the business edition of Vedomosti, with administrative support of the Market Entry Atelier and the Eventum Premo, will hold the «Unexplored Marketing» forum for the first time in Russia.
