Expert analysis from a specialist in the field
Written by James Wilson, a leading analyst in the Consumer sector, his extensive knowledge delivers in-depth commentary and analysis to highlight current trends and add expert context to the numbers.
Irish consumers think that it is important to see more diversity in the actors and models used in advertising.
