COVID-19 and the consumer: Shaping our digital experience
COVID-19 has created an environment dominated by disruption, uncertainty and vulnerability, with businesses responding by adapting and innovating to retain and attract customers.
Examples include the accelerated increase in online consumer activity, and the move to grow a digital footprint and deliver more meaningful consumer experiences. But are these changes sustainable?
