Most brands will tell you they put the customer first. But how far are they really willing to go? For instance, how many companies make consumer needs priority over the fiscal bottom line? How many brands would be willing to recommend a competitor's product if it served their customer's needs better? Probably not a lot. In our newest frog report, 'The New Terms of Engagement' we explore these tensions with our guests and report authors Bhavesh Unadkat, Vice President of Brand, Marketing and Content Services UK, frog, Kerry Lee, Director of Commerce and Customer Transformation UK, frog and Christopher Baird, Global Head of Loyalty. At a time of unconditional responsibility, where consumers care more than ever about their purchasing decisions and customer experiences, with an eye toward sustainability, inclusivity and purpose, companies may need to change the way they act and communicate to meet a consumer base looking for more meaning in their marketing and commerce interactions.

What if 'future' was a verb? Could that inform our approach to building a society with lasting value for people and planet? Historically, the world of innovation has emphasized the human experience, which, in most contexts, translates into being zeroed in on the needs of the end user of a product or the customer of an organization. Of course, this remains mission-critical to making things people love. But today, creating with intention requires a much broader remit. It requires expanding to include decision-making that considers societal and environmental factors. To discuss how to shift toward a more “planet-centric mindset,” we’re joined by Idun Aune, designer and Head of Sustainability in frog Norway.

Today on our show, we’re jumping into the constantly shifting, sometimes chaotic world of social media.

Today on our show, we’re talking about connected products and services that perfect customer experience while driving new business value. More specifically, we’re starting with a focus on some very special members of our families: our pets. Recently, our team worked with Nestlé Purina to create an intelligent litter box system that collects and shares data about your cat’s health and wellness. Of course, this use case is just one prime example of using data and technology to improve everyday experiences and better our lives in the process. Joining us for this discussion and more today are Chiara Diana, Chief Design Officer at frog, Kristin Slater, Senior Manager, loT Products, Petivity at Nestlé Purina and Jeff Hebert, Global Head of Intelligent Products and Services in Intelligent Industry for Capgemini Invent and President of Synapse Product Development.
