CONSUMER ACTION

TO CONSUME IS TO COMMIT

Fukushima, the 2015 attacks, Brexit… during these years, chaos dominates. In the background, the revolution is underway, and it is primarily digital. But the urgency is elsewhere: global warming is becoming a new political issue; environmental awareness is emerging among the population and many voices are being raised to encourage citizens to protect the planet.

Overwhelmed by so many serious and involving issues, the Consumer Actor was born: for him, buying and consuming are committed acts that must be in line with his values. It becomes as important to consider the quality of food, as its origin or its impact on health or the environment.

The same applies to packaging which, in addition to protecting, must also reduce its environmental impact, be committed, trendy and leave no doubt as to the need for its function in complete transparency. Even if this approach has been in its DNA since its creation, GUILLIN will go even further in its environmental commitments and will open new avenues.

CULTURE

Always connected

Connected objects are now part of our daily lives. Voice assistants or connected watches are no longer objects we see in James Bond films. They are a real reality. The decade is also marked by the arrival of VR headsets and 3D printers.

The revolution streaming

Television, music and even cinema are being transformed by the emergence of a new mode of consumption that allows access to everything, at any time.

Streaming then accompanies the migration of users from televisions and computers to smartphones, which are now the main media for consuming audio or video content, series, films, sports, news, music or games.

Social networks are becoming more democratic. 4G is being deployed from 2011 and allows video to materialise anywhere, increasing our greed for fast information.

Influencers

Mobile, multitasking and ultra-connected, influencers reign supreme on social networks.

Opinion leaders, content creators, brand ambassadors… their recommendations to their community are overturning the codes of consumption and changing the rules of the game of advertising communication.

Consumer

A well-informed consumer, the consumer-actor is demanding, naturally more committed and more aware of his role. They are more sensitive to the responsible, ethical, and fair characteristics of products. Consumption becomes a political act.

Healthy or nothing

Gluten-free, lactose-free, and sugar-free diets are making the headlines, while raw foodists are finding their beauty secret on the plate by looking for the most natural food possible to benefit from the vitality of all these ingredients.

Vegan, locavore, flexitarian: new terms are emerging to designate a more responsible relationship with food.
