As the Irish consumer adapts to instability as the new normal, coping behaviors used during the recession are becoming standard.

This poem discusses how modern life is too full of care and leaves no time to stop and appreciate beauty. The speaker notes that there is no time to pause beneath trees like sheep or cows, no time to see squirrels hiding nuts in the grass as one passes woods, and no time to see streams full of stars like night skies during the day or to watch beauty and see a smile fully form. The poem concludes that this life is poor if, due to being full of care, we have no time to simply stand and stare.

The group conducted a survey with over 400 respondents to analyze Durex's brand awareness and market share in the US compared to its main competitor Trojan. They found that while Durex is the top condom brand worldwide, it only has 15% of the US market due to significantly less advertising spending than Trojan. Trojan outspends Durex on US advertising by 26 times. The group concluded that Durex is not top of mind for US consumers due to being a foreign brand, limited advertising, and competing against the established Trojan brand. They recommended Durex utilize its global brand equity, increase US advertising, expand product offerings, and tailor messaging to different audiences.

It notes the blurring lines between content and advertising, and that consumers are overwhelmed by negative news. It advocates that brands develop a clear vision and purpose, and act as publishers by creating dynamic, topical creative content that promotes their higher goals of culture and empowering people. This new approach frames marketing around the concepts of purpose, presence, proximity and partnership rather than traditional product-focused messaging.
The document describes a proposed brand called "GoodPeople" that aims to promote forgiveness for mistakes.
