How did society react ?

In response to this potential new world, how are we going to react ?A binary reaction has been noticed  with a desire to escape, to emancipate.


2 approaches. Slowing down: We take our time. We stay in our bubble. Bringing back our own value: We break the codes. We assume ourself.

Conclusion

All trends are legitimate as all brands are different but the one that matches your audience & positioning is the one to take forward. Having said that surprising is a good way to attract & delight.

Brands must regain their position as leaders with their own non standardised DNA, cultivate their spontaneity, step out of the box in their own way.
