UNLOCKING THE Post-Pandemic CONSUMERISM Retail Futurist Keynote Speaker

PHOENIX RISING: THE NEW ERA OF CONSUMERISM

Format: keynote or workshop
We are entering a new era of consumerism, one that’s been shaped by a global pandemic and is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence. This is breeding a different type of consumer, one whose emotions and spending habits are shifting. The events of the past few years gifted us the space to transform and grow. It is the brands that serve this transformation that are outperforming their peers and will continue to thrive in today's climate, giving rise to the “self-actualization economy”. In this mind-bending talk, Lindsay illuminates a growing trend, its business implications and her personal journey towards it.

Amidst pandemic fallout, artificial intelligence, the experience economy, and the maker's movement, we are witnessing disruption in the world of retail. Consumers are shopping differently as the channel mix and digital landscape evolves. All the while, competition for the consumer's dollar is higher than ever. Adaptation amongst a post-pandemic world is a must. How can businesses pivot to create a resonant retail experience, and reach the next generation of consumers - and what does it all have to do with fundamental human needs? Lindsay explores the retail landscape through the lens of evolutionary psychology and opportunities for Brands and business leaders to flourish within.

REGENERATIVE COMMERCE: A HIGHER CALLING

Format: keynote or workshop

All the while, we are facing macro issues ranging from climate change to global unrest – and an imminent need to regenerate people and the planet. So, wherein lies the opportunity for business - and what does it all have to do with evolutionary psychology? In this talk, Lindsay illuminates five key cultural trends, the mega trend binding them, best-in-class brand activations from around the globe, and strategic solutions businesses can adopt to amplify their impact – and transcend brand affinity.
