Some influent people have said that newspapers could die in 5-10 years: what are your views on this and how does it affect “the brand” and your role as a communicator?
In my opinion, and partially through personal desire, I don’t think newspapers will die out completely. As brands in their own right, even if printed newspapers sell less, the brands behind them will live on and compete in other channels. That said, at Coca-Cola we continue to adapt our communications as our brand plays out in the public domain well beyond newspapers. We do this by listening to consumers, prioritising shareable content and personalising campaigns. -
