What is Kantar Forward?

Kantar Forward explores what’s changing in brand growth and what to do about it: how AI assistants are reshaping discovery, why creator content has outpaced traditional testing, and how marketers can act with confidence when there’s more data than ever. It featured live demos of Kantar’s newest solutions and a first look at our 2027 roadmap.

Four key themes

Inside the Broadcast

Exploring the challenges of today

More than eight in ten people globally now use AI assistants, and those assistants are becoming gatekeepers for brands. This session with Essity shows how to see what AI says about your brand, how visible you are in AI answers, and how to find the growth space you’re not in yet. It also covers why spotting early launch signals matters when two in three innovations fail to build meaning for the brand.

Helping brands market machines
