Local execution for local growth 

Sophisticated retailers and manufacturers recognize the next frontier of growth demands strategies that cater to local market dynamics, but even past solutions like store clusters were hard to maintain and lacked scalable activation.

Consider Toronto, which officially recognizes 158 neighborhoods across the city. The demographics are radically different across these neighborhoods with some more affluent areas than others, some French-speaking, Punjabi-speaking, or Mandarin-speaking communities, and some so densely populated there’s a never -ending checkout queue because of the sheer volume each store accommodates.

To expect a “Toronto” strategy to work is inconceivable. The same price increases in one neighborhood could lead to a brand exodus in another neighborhood. English advertisements could fall flat in predominantly Mandarin-speaking neighborhoods.

Now, extrapolate this beyond Toronto to the entire country and it can be an overwhelming task to execute localized strategies at scale.
