Nikki Price, head of marketing at Sushi Sushi, will share her views on marketing for sustained brand growth in a panel discussion at Inside Retail Live next week.

The session will discuss marketing’s role in driving brand growth, the importance of growing brand awareness at the national level, how local store marketing drives top-line results, what marketing can’t fix – the importance of customer experience, and finding the right balance between national and local spend.
