M&S Pantheon, the World Cup Spending Effect and Aldi Goes Baldi

M&S Pantheon, the World Cup Spending Effect and Aldi Goes Baldi

What does M&S’s investment in its renewed Oxford Street flagship tell us about the future of physical retail?

Simone Oloman and Alex Rezvan examine the new M&S Pantheon format and the growing need for stores to become places customers actively choose to spend time in.

They also discuss:

• The effect of the FIFA World Cup on UK consumer spending • Why online and physical non-food retail moved in different directions • Henry Dummer’s appointment as CEO of Very.ie • Dress Well Dad Well and the intersection of fatherhood, fashion and identity • Holland & Barrett’s Wellness Tap • Aldi’s Baldi activation for Pitbull’s Hyde Park concert • Why cultural marketing can outperform conventional advertising

A fast analysis of the UK retail stories that matter and what they reveal about stores, consumers and brands.
