After two years spent leveraging digital technologies to implement solutions to short-term, pandemic-fuelled challenges, brands have reverted to looking at the longer term digital picture. But the landscape is different. Consumers’ digital maturity has accelerated, raising their expectations of brands; the gap between (some) digital natives and laggards has narrowed to create more competition, and the war on tech talent is fiercer than ever. 

Old tactics won’t cut it to achieve commercial success in the new digital reality. Whether it’s about reducing costs, opening new revenue streams or creating new digital products, brands need a product development mindset to reach and exceed their goals. 

This DEPT® TALKS is for leaders who want to up their digital game to accelerate growth. Brands including adidas, Nikon, London Marathon Events and Harwoods will share how they’re tackling challenges to achieve commercial success.
