The Moment for Trust
In today’s world, public trust is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity.
Just 34% of consumers saying they trust the brands they use. As such, this has fast risen to the top of every marketeer’s agenda, as 81% of consumers state that trust is a deciding factor in their purchase journey.
Every day, consumers are presented with an abundance of news, advertising, information and messages through a multitude of mediums. Peoples concern over content veracity has risen with recent social and political developments further exacerbated the issue.
What these means for brands is that is has never been more important to deliver honest, reliable and trustworthy advertising to counter-act the decline and future-proof their business.
As such, brand trust is at its most crucial point.

Understanding the concept of Trust
To understand what trust means to brands, we first need to understand the concept of trust itself.
And that meant answering a few key questions: What is it? How do you build it? How do you keep it? Why is it important? How has a global pandemic changed it?
And to answer those questions, and launch our joint research, we hosted a webinar where we heard from academics, statisticians, researchers, brand leaders, and marketers on exactly why right now is: The Moment for Trust.
