Nickson explained how "this focus on social will help us have a dialogue with a younger, broader audience –2016 is going to be a big year with new products, technologies, milestones and, of course, the UEFA Euro 2016 of which we are an official sponsor".

Stephen Firth, managing partner at Gravity Thinking, said “our job is to get consumers to understand what the brand stands for and how amazing their products really are."

He added that future plans involved looked to “really establish the brand in the hearts and minds of the consumer.”
