Good article on the change in how consumers shop for their groceries. How will this impact how retainers market in the future? http://www.fooddive.com//grocery-store-shopper-2017/433730/

At least in grocery, the use of social media will continue to grow as part of the marketing mix according to this prognostication. http://www.fooddive.com//grocery-retail-trends-2017/433345/

Happy New Year from the Murray Brand Communications Team!!

Should be interesting to see what happens as Whole Foods dips its toe into bilingual with the opening of its store in El Paso, Texas. As posed in the article covering the opening, "will it succeed?" A very reasonable question when considering Whole Foods is a market catering to higher-income individuals while many Spanish speakers in El Paso are immigrants of a lower-income profile. http://www.fooddive.com//can-the-new-bilingual-who/433067/

Mastercard launched an updated brand identity for the first time in 20 years. What's the new logo (on top) communicate versus the old logo (on right). New: lowercase font - a classic design cue used to suggest friendly, approachable and easy to use. Intersecting circles - convey a partnership that meets one's needs with MC's capabilities. Red (a color of strength and aggressiveness) and yellow (color of happy and friendly) combine to make orange - a reinforcement of the in...tersecting circles metaphor. Black letter forms - simple sophistication. Old: Uppercase and italicized M with Intercap C - the strength and speed to get you what you need promptly. Horizontal lines in intersection of circles - visual flourishes to reinforce speed for those that have no time to waste. White letter forms with black drop shadow - a multi-dimensional solution that meets a variety of user needs. New brand positioning: Mastercard is your friendly, trusted partner that's easy to use and simplifies your life in a ever-hectic world.
