The digital consumer economy thrives on change – new products, new technology, new routes to market. But rarely have we experienced a period of such extreme flux in operating environment, consumer behaviour and technology.
As a result, industry leaders are managing conflicting pressures and shifting dynamics – customer, commercial, competitive and personal. Bold decisions are made quickly to grow revenue and outmanoeuvre competitors, while renewed regulatory scrutiny of data, online safety and ESG put strategy on a collision course with the law. We are seeing big successes and fast failures, new business models and intense competition for market share amid consumer uncertainty and a cost of living crunch.
In our new campaign, we look at what’s reforming the digital consumer economy and what you need to know about performing in this market – unpicking trends with legal analysis and expert perspectives from industry leaders.
