Celebrating 100 episodes of Mintel Little Conversation

To celebrate Mintel Little Conversation’s 100 episode, hosts Andrew McDougall and Sam Dover have a discussion about value and how other behaviour drivers like experiences, surroundings and technology impact consumer preferences and purchases related to value, convenience, cost and quality. Later on in the conversation, Andrew and Sam take a look back at past episodes and share their favourite guests and topics, including the episodes that are newly relevant today—from the impact of fake news on consumer behaviour and the business of insights to the value of sustainability for brands and the role diversity and inclusivity play in consumer engagement. Join us for a little conversation with two of your favourite Mintel experts—listen now or watch our 100th episode on YouTube.
