Corona is speeding up digitalization in food. The virus also exposes the vulnerability of food companies in the food service industry. Not surprising, that many companies are reconsidering their sales channels and business models to get more out of their food brand and business. The ultimate moment for channel innovation!
1) Offline > online swap
Make your food brand digital proof
Corona causes a digital acceleration in the purchase of food and drinks online. We believe this will have permanent implications. It is therefore wise to transform your brand and business to the digital world, because it will be a long-term investment too. Whether it concerns your own digital restaurant, web shop, presence in someone else’s shop, meal subscription or online community; the digital environment requires different specifications.
From user-friendly e-commerce platforms, impactful on-line communication, creation of communities, digital packaging design or logistics. It’s is all different from bricks and mortar business but crucial for the future of your food brand. To help you make this transformation fast, we created a multi disciplinary digital food team.
