     Talking about the initiative, Rubeena Singh, CEO, iProspect India said, “As you know, iProspect has women leaders across its offices in the world. Internally, we run various programmes to help women reach the leadership programmes. Take Women@iprospect, for instance, which caters to junior and mid-level women who have a capability to be a leader tomorrow. Female Foundry is more than just an initiative for us. We are leading the programme in India, along with the help of DAN leadership and resources as well as our partners who have volunteered, to help build a more cohesive ecosystem for women entrepreneurs.”

    MUMBAI:  Global business performance agency iProspect has released its fourth annual whitepaper titled 2019 Future Focus: Searching for Trust.

    The report predicts that those businesses grounded in credibility, relevance, and reliability across all their marketing channels will see trust at the very foundation for their success in the digital economy.  

    iProspect interviewed more than 300 global marketers and leaders across a broad spectrum of brands, including FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies, and used real-time responses to outline key insights and priorities necessary for businesses to thrive in our fast moving, high expectation digital economy.

    Feedback shows that trust is at the forefront globally with 88 per cent of marketers making trust in their brand a priority in 2019. Marketers see gaining consumer trust as vital to business growth with 76 per cent stating that trust is important to keep consumers buying their brand.  Digital will play a clear role in this with 34 per cent stating that voice search is their priority emerging marketing channel in 2019, and a further 60 per cent believing that the rise of AI will increase consumer trust as it allows for more relevant and personal experiences.
