DESIGN WILL HAVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF SHOPPING.

Creating immersive user experiences - combining the best of in-store and online shopping - is the future of consumer marketing. The time has come to put consumers at the center of a brand's message.

New mediums are defining this new experiential marketing ecosystem - digital signage, interactive touch screens, and mobile integration - to create rich and memorable user experiences.

Creating experiences which are intuitive and playful is one of the great-est challenges.

No instructions should be required - the discovery and direct feedback of each experience will engage and captivate users.

"I think the most successful medium is actually one that is a 360 de-gree strategy... So it’s a li ttle bit social, it’s a little bit of display, it’s a little bit of search."

KRISTINA DIMATTEO, Associate Director of Client and Media Strategy - Morpheus Media
