Marketing & Digital Consumers
powered by Mastercard

There is more and more technology in the life of every brand and every person. People are becoming more and more aware of its good and bad sides. And they are using modern technology more smoothly and naturally than most brands. The relationship of man with technology and technology with man is at the core of modern marketing. In order to operate effectively, brands cannot just chase after the latest buzzwords and trends in the digital world. They should spend just as much energy understanding why people follow those trends. And why some of them they reject. Both aspects of this relationship are equally important.
