Conversion <> conversation: redefining the role of storytelling in commerce journeys

Consumers today crave brands that are bold, expressive, and altogether more human. This shift has created a particular set of challenges for consumer brands, which–to remain relevant, and successful–need to move beyond a “sell to everyone” mentality and instead connect with consumers on a deeper level.

How does that translate into commerce experiences? It’s all about storytelling; because creating conversation with customers will drive long term conversion.

Jägermeister has done exactly this, defining a future-proofed path that ensures the legacy brand stays competitive; seamlessly combining commerce, brand and loyalty within its new digital home (built on Shopify). In this session, we’ll explore why this approach was non-negotiable, key learnings from their journey, and the dividends it is paying.
