About the role
Diageo invest significantly in direct to consumer brands building, but we must partner with our customers to influence the point of purchase activation, and this is where the vast majority of our A&P investment sits. Most shoppers and consumers buy from a repertoire of brands and their behaviour can be easily influence by what they see or don't see at the point of purchase. It is the role of the Customer Activation team to work closely with our customer team to understand the needs of shoppers and customers and then collaborate with the shopper marketing team to build the programmes and tools that guarantee outstanding execution of our brands at the point of purchase. The Customer Activation team will then work directly with customers, supply and agencies to project handle perfect execution of the commercial calendar. In some cases, this will advise tailoring and adapting our programmes and tools to meet the specific needs of strategically important customers to enable them to differentiate their offer. As a Customer Activation Manager, you will sit right at the heart of business supporting & working as business partners with our sales teams to ensure they have all the insight, growth drivers & tools they need to deliver brilliant execution of Diageo's commercial plan to shift consumer & shopper behavior to achieve Diageo's financial and market share ambition. This role has direct responsibility for all activation within your customer & brand alignment.
