Chris Illman And Darren Discuss Innovating Within The Traditions Of A 150-Year-Old Brand

Managing Marketing

A year can be a long time in marketing. Technology, data, media channels and more are driving relentless change. But imagine if you take on the responsibility of managing a much-loved brand that has existed for 150 years. What would be the challenges and issues you would be dealing with today?

Chris Illman took on that challenge when he joined the Bickford’s Group of Companies as the Group Marketing Manager eleven years ago. Today, he is the Head of Group Sales, Marketing, and Hospitality at Bickford’s Group, and he shares the market challenges of innovating the Bickford’s brand.
