This session will go deep on a number of market trends to help illustrate what the future may hold for the industry and how that will affect the variety of brands in the automotive industry and the marketers working for them.
Delegates will learn about looming industry change and what this means for marketing, leadership strategy and the industry’s capabilities.
McOrist will unpack the extreme disruption in the automotive industry
The the Australian automotive industry has been through significant flux recently, with Ibisworld reporting growth of 0.5% from 2014-2019. With the variety of sectors that make up the industry, it means the “performances of these smaller industries have varied over the period”. In particular, the exit of major manufacturers from building vehicles in Australia has changed the industry dramatically.
Mumbrella’s Automotive Marketing Summit – Melbourne, will cover much of the change with more speakers to be announced shortly. It takes place on March 17 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Melbourne. Tickets are on sale now.
