We live in a world of massive disruption: technology, digitization, millennials, generation z, shifted experiences, and China as the most important market for luxury. Consumer expectations have never been higher. As young, highly sophisticated customers look for brands with authenticity and purpose, many traditional brands fail. In a recent example, we saw a luxury fashion brand losing 80% of their customers below 30 within only three years. The speed of change has never been faster — the need for brands to redefine themselves never more critical.
