With product and packaging innovation examples, considerations for marketing and communications professionals, and top tips for getting ‘under the skin’ of your customer, Catriona shares elements of Unilever’s ‘learning journey’ and addresses some of the challenges brands might face in balancing cost, performance and environmental credentials.
