Download the Max Impact Marketing Trend Report
Consumer expectations around brand engagement are shifting alongside advancements in technology, and brands who want to stay relevant must adapt their consumer marketing tactics or become obsolete. Trend Hunter’s SVP of Client Success, Gil Haddi, explores why traditional marketing strategies are no longer as cut-and-dry as they used to be and what you can do to cut through the clutter to truly resonate with today’s consumers.

Thanks to the evolution of technology and social media, consumers have become walking ad blockers, costing companies an estimated $35B in marketing dollars. This course will divulge three core consumer marketing tactics including Hyperconnectivity, Consumer Centricity and Lifestyle Engagement, that will help you align your brand with what matters most to your target audience.
