The Shopper Rewired: The Players and the Game have ChangedDigital hasn't just created new channels and opportunities, it has rewired the players and constantly reboots the game. Businesses that don't adapt to the demands of the New Consumer quickly fail the relevance test and fade away. Disruption is not just a game changer, it is about survival. This is the Hunger Games for business. If the game has changed then understanding the new shopper, what they value and want is key. Take your eye off that and it is GAME OVER. |
