Winning eCommerce Strategies in the Age of Social and Speed

Join us for the most anticipated Digital Advisory Council event of the year on Thursday, 18th September: Winning eCommerce strategies in the age of social and speed  – where innovation, insight, and the future of retail collide.

We will welcome Nora Zukauskaite, Integrated Marketing Director at TikTok Shop UK, for an exclusive, in-person panel on the rise of social shopping, marketplaces, and the future of commerce.

Brand owners know that TikTok Shop has transformed the way consumers discover, engage with, and find joy in their purchases on the platform. With its broad appeal way beyond just GenZs, TikTok Shop continues to expand rapidly, now with over 200,000 sellers trading on the platform.

Nora will explain the opportunities for products and brands to collaborate, create, partner, grow, and scale to get their content in front of attentive buyers. Caroline Cartwright will use our Digital Purchases shopper data to identify unique insights on how TikTok Shop is fundamentally changing the FMCG landscape. TikTok is driving trends in retail at speed – don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from Nora in person.


But the future of retail isn’t just social — it’s fast.


When it comes to speed, Laura Burbedge, Director of Online at Waitrose ,will talk about the emergence of rapid retail delivery. Growing exponentially in the UK, Laura has been at the forefront of the movement to meet shoppers’ demand for groceries at home, whenever they want them. However, consumers want a wide range of goods quickly, not just groceries. What does this mean for your business?

If you’re not embracing rapid delivery, you could be missing out. Laura will share what they expect and identify areas where there are opportunities for brands and retailers. She will also address some of the challenges, including profitability, cost, and sustainability.
