My background is in fast-moving consumer goods and Ive worked for very consumer-centric organisations like Procter & Gamble, Gillette, and Nokia Björn stated. If you get into the reason why someone like me got the job, travel retail as an industry is very similar to grocery products. It is very much focusing around the consumer and catering to the specific needs that consumers have when they travel. On the other hand, its about channelling advertising and brand awareness and recognition. Working for strong brands like Procter & Gamble and Gillette has helped me understand this.
Its a very interesting situation to be in because we frequently deal with consumers when theyre the happiest theyve ever beenwhen theyre on holidayso its a sweet spot in terms of engaging with consumers.
