Rivera, an EGADE MBA graduate, is CMO at UPS Mexico and Latin America.

For Merca 2.0, Rivera identified three marketing trends that will be seen in 2022. The first, she said, is to reframe the consumer scenario, where digitization is crucial.

“A second point for this year in the industry is experience creation and a third is social responsibility,” she commented.

“Positioning brands as key players in the social, equity and diversity areas will be vital in the face of consumers’ growing demand for companies that focus more on giving back to the communities in which they operate,” Rivera explained.
