With lockdown having had an unprecedented impact on our industry, Kevin shares how KP Snacks have been experiencing and reacting to the current climate. He looks at how they've pivoted to new circumstances and consumer behaviours, as well as championing how essential it is to remain forward-looking.

This coincides with our latest survey on brand attitudes to pitching and the role for agencies in the current climate. A survey we did with 50 senior brand marketers to gauge sentiment and a feel for outlook in the months ahead.
