2022 Theme
The last 18 months has been a time of many changes. From the way we did business to how our consumers evolved, the New Normal is here. Business growth was redefined, as boardrooms across the world brainstormed virtually on how to survive and thrive in this fast changing economy. As D2C brands grew exponentially and Legacy brands opted for eCommerce and consumer first models, the buyers/customers adapted to the new ways of living – from buying groceries online to buying their first EV online. As millennials and non-digital natives re-designed their lifestyles, Gen Z recognized the need to ask for more; to be vocal in their expectations from brands and from society. Brands today are no longer responsible to their shareholders and executive board alone, but to their customers and employees alike.
