Every Store Needs a Story

Challenger Brands are changing the world of commerce

The future of online shopping is being built today by new, disruptive brands such as Thrillist and Houzz through the integration of content, commerce and community. Brands must continually innovate to keep ahead of the game and maintain relevancy to today's consumer.

Commerce As Usual often results in disjointed user experiences

As consumer needs have evolved and technologies have lagged behind, many brands have been forced to create patchwork experiences that try to present the user with both a streamlined shopping experience and a beautiful brand experience. Often these end up as separate, disjointed user flows.

The Industry is recognizing that a new approach is needed

If brands can seamlessly unify content, commerce and community experiences then the brand has the ability to tell a fully cohesive, and integrated story to the consumer. These well branded, engaging experiences will ultimately drive loyalty, trust and conversion.
