Rethinking brand for the rise of digital commerce
A white paper on building brands for the post-pandemic era.
The events of 2020 saw marketers cut their brand investment, focusing heavily on “performance” marketing and retail media. As digital commerce intensifies and platforms gain power, what’s the future of creative brand-building?
