Simply put, this strategy is about reaching your target consumers at the moments in their lives where, triggered by a life event, greater likelihood to purchase occurs.
In a recent feature, Life event marketing: putting the consumer into context, published by The Global Marketing Alliance, our Director of Digital Solutions, Paul Hickey, shares real life examples of life event marketing in practice.
