Join The Future Laboratory's co-founder, Martin Raymond, and deputy foresight editor, Holly Friend, as they discuss the rising trends set to shape our Neo-collectivist future.
What’s the future of community? It’s the question brands have been asking for decades. But as real-world uprisings rage on and our journey to the metaverse accelerates, global consumers are busy forming new types of alliance. Losing their sense of individualism, they are engaging in new forms of collective thinking, doing and consuming.
In response, brands will need to change from sellers to coordinators, blurring the boundaries between how we define a company, a community and a collective.
In this free online event, including a live Q&A with our experts, we unveil Neo-collectivism, our exclusive macrotrend for 2022. Throughout this inspirational session, we’ll be exploring what this new era will mean for key sectors.
It’s time to match community-centric thinking with community-centric actions. Don’t let your brand be left behind.
