Never has so much been expected of
brands. As government resources are
cut back, and competition heats up to
reach digitally connected, demanding,
socially networked, and conscious
consumers, — brands are expected
to be curators, entertainers,
philanthropists, cultural benefactors,
innovators. They are expected to
behave transparently, ethically, and
morally. They are also increasingly,
regardless of category, expected to
deliver experiences.
13. SXSW INTERACTIVE 2016
But in this new competitive terrain,
successful brands are finding that
there are also tangible benefits to
winning over consumers. They’re
gaining stakeholders and
ambassadors, not simply customers.
They’re gaining data and connections
to new talent and innovation
concepts, rather than operating in
silos. They’re winning loyal
employees. They’re also attracting
new consumer bases and securing
their place in the future.
