What a year it has been! At times, it seemed as though the world had been turned upside down, while realities are shifting at an accelerated rate.

This is the moment to find out if we are able to keep up, rethink, reimagine, and refocus everything that we know. Whether we can make use of technology to do so, as boundaries between our normal lives and virtual and artificial reality are becoming increasingly blurry. While different individuals, societies, and generations, like GenZ, all have distinctive views on what is and is not. 

The time has come for brands to put their brand DNA to the test, determine the future of digital trends, and figure out how to prepare for these exciting and challenging times.
