The commercial problem
The campaign had a defined performance gap to close.
The supplied brief identifies a shortfall in high-net-worth individuals and corporate buyers. The commercial mandate was to turn awareness into ticket sales, give Shopper Smart Living its own high-income audience strategy and lift four-day footfall.
DMS scope
Built around the buyer journey, not channel silos.
