M&C Saatchi Shop launched with 2 founding clients
M&C Saatchi Shop has opened its doors with multinational assignments from existing M&C Saatchi Group clients, Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Pernod Ricard. The new company is led by Michelle Whelan and it will offer shopper-first solutions to help new and current clients compete more effectively in the fast-evolving retail landscape.
The agency developed its own IP, including a new Audit tool that identifies those factors that most influence shoppers in a particular category, and then ranks individual brands within that category by how well they are performing against shoppers’ needs.
We now live in a world where people can shop everything as well as everywhere. To win in this environment, brands need to work hard to be as easy, interesting and rewarding to shop as possible. Our name is brutally simple, and so is our mission: to make every brand we work with the most shoppable in its category
Michelle Whelan
This is the ideal time to add a commercially rigorous Retail and Shopper specialism to our offering. It’s a challenging world out there, but also one that’s full of new opportunities. Given her deep understanding of how the modern shopper moves seamlessly between physical, digital and social channels, Michelle is the perfect person to help our clients seize those opportunities
