Unboxing the purchase journey for young audiences, ensuring your brand stories stand out with Malls Live.
Understanding changing consumer behaviour is vital in helping brands to reconnect with shoppers. We’re closely monitoring mobile data to better understand how returning Out of Home audiences are looking, and how young people in particular are eagerly rediscovering malls.
