Activity 1: £30 for some soap, you must be kidding me! Secrets of brand success
As we struggle with a cost-of-living crisis like never before, brands at the value end of the market like Lidl and Primark are thriving in the UK. Supermarkets and manufacturers are working hard to keep the shelves stocked and the prices low. But that's only half the story...high-end brands and so-called 'designer' goods are also flourishing. How can similar products command such eye-wateringly high prices? Marketers know. We explore how two soap brands, one mass and one luxury, can justify their price tags. Or can they? You decide...

Activity 2: The marketing mindset
Join us for a dynamic session where you'll tackle a marketing challenge and generate innovative solutions. Whether you're a natural problem-solver or just curious about the world of business, this session will give you a taste of how marketers think on their feet.
