From CX to HX
In a world of over-choice on demand, brands need to deliver a Human Experience. HX requires forging genuine, human connections in an increasingly digital world, and making the leap from personalized to personal marketing.

AGENCY FUTURES INDEX Q1 2021: INDIES ON THE RISE

The result: indies are getting asked for strategy, and finding it’s more profitable than any other agency service. To seize the strategy opportunity, agencies are focusing on new approaches to talent for a largely hybrid working environment.
