Advertising Week Europe: Community is the new trend in marketing

Jun 2, 2022 • News and Press • Written by Nextdoor Enterprise Team

Neighbourhoods are more important than ever and  this trend is here to stay. Recent research has shown that 73% say neighbours are their most important community. 

During Advertising Week Europe, our Commercial Director Paps Shaikh moderated a panel with Tom Lakerman, Head of Local at Co-Op, Josi’ah Mace, Director of Creative Partnerships at Initiative and Jason Mander, Chief Research Officer at GWI to discuss how neighbours and brands alike are considering ways to build meaningful and helpful connections in their communities. 

We sat down with GWI to talk about community trends in audience research. During the session we also discussed how communities are already at the forefront of campaigns for brands like Co-op and talked about how they are becoming increasingly of interest as global agencies, like Initiative, are brainstorming ways to keep brands connected to their customers with scaled localised connections.

The brands that look after those around them and find their own role within the local community, will build more brand loyalty. By thinking carefully about how they appear, act and behave at a local level, they will become an important part of strong, vibrant and resilient neighbourhoods.
