Overview

Is the customer always right? It’s an adage that is more than 100 years old, but this creed was not built for the technological era, when public complaints are only a click away, and one small tweet can turn into a swirling Twitter storm. 

Our free Backlash Culture Report covers three key macrotrends set to affect your business over the next 5–10 years: Backlash Brands, Gen Viz and The E-motional Economy. An in-depth examination of tomorrow’s brand language, consumer mindsets and cultural atmosphere meets best-in-class case studies and a practical toolkit to power your brand strategy.
