Future interaction
New world, new journeys, new possibilities
Erick Smet, Sucheta Govil, Tanja Gutsmann, Dr. Jacqueline Kusan-Bindels, Dagmar Ulbrich
A near-global lockdown deaccelerated the world’s interconnected economies. During this time, wildlife flourished, and emissions went down. The impact for people and commerce was equally seismic: businesses took their entire brand experience online, accelerating the shift towards hybrid communications. How will the new landscape impact customer touchpoints and experiences in 2022 and beyond?
