Anton Vincent of Mars on brand experience, sustainability, and consumer relationships

On this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Anton Vincent, President of Mars Wrigley, North America, joins hosts Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter to discuss empathy in customer experiences. Through brand experience, consumers can often develop an emotional attachment to their favorite products. This attachment can help brands transition their consumers to supporters of the overall brand.  

Vincent shares his views on why he believes brands must consider how they can affect people's lives. Specifically, he mentions the sustainability journey Mars is on and their progress regarding wastewater treatments and packaging.  Moreover, Vincent shares examples of how he and his company go beyond product marketing by focusing on consumer relationships. He juxtaposes the “consumer relationship” with the “customer relationship,” speaking on the importance of creating an experience for the consumer. He then shares a personal experience when he truly understood the consumer and had compassion for them.
