READ MORE
We live in a world where the little things really do matter. Each encounter -- no matter how brief -- is a micro interaction which makes a deposit or withdrawal from our rational and emotional subconscious. The sum of these interactions and encounters adds up to how we feel about a particular product, brand or service. Little things. Feelings. They influence our everyday behaviors more than we realize.

How can brands reinvent themselves for the connected age? By doctoring the package - remix message here, insert new tech there, stitch it together again and give it a jolt, à la Frankenstein? Or are tomorrow’s brands no longer creatures of the industrial age but changed more organically? Is the idea that brands can be reborn a business imperative or foolishly romantic?

Users suck. And thinking about people as “users” sucks even more. As digital storytellers, we need to think about people, not paths; about human desires and how to inspire them. A new vocabulary, new tools, and bigger aspirations are good places to start as we shed our analog limitations. We must elevate our goals from making sites that people use, to imagining brand experiences worth sharing.
