Insights

A slew of emerging issues impacting frontline workers had retail and hospitality C-suites reeling.

Idea

Elevate Axonify's narrative and storytelling around socioeconomic issues impacting key sales verticals and keeping their leaders up at night.

ISSUES-BASED THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

SHIFT guided Axonify to branch out of tactical topics and speak on the macro-issues impacting retail, grocer and hospitality workplaces. Informed by in-depth research and analysis, we ID'd opportunities around increasing retail theft, hostile customer interactions and industry training regulation. ​

To position Axonify as an expert and partner to companies in navigating these unprecedented challenges, we launched a series of survey reports that commanded press and buyer attention, jumped on timely news and amplified our narrative and assets, especially at events and trade shows, to nurture prospects through the funnel.
