Context
We live in a digital age where customers are less influenced by advertising than ever before. Brand management has become more about managing dialogue – sharing instead of selling. Is your brand ready to compete in this field?
We live in a world of brands, we grew up listening to their advertising monologues and now we want transparency and dialogue.
We rarely believe adverts and we can actively avoid them.
We have access to knowledge as never before and can make informed decisions.
Winning us over as customers isn’t going to be as easy as it once was.
