Shopper marketing is predicated on using insights to deliver the right environment, right products, right packaging, and right marketing communication all combined to satisfy the shopper's needs in a way that was not traditionally possible.   "We understand this new go-to-market reality and are dedicated to ensuring that clients, have the tools they need to deliver the highest level of immersive brand engagement and interaction with consumers at the point-of-sale," said TEAM Enterprises CEO Dan Gregory.
