The Landscape

1. Data and Digital Explosion

The Rate of Innovation has been growing exponentially

Based on the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), the number of patents being files in offices has

been growing exponentially. The number of ground-break technologies, from pharmaceutical products, to

machines, to software has been growing as exponentially as the number of facets and problems of our

daily lives that these innovations are trying to touch and improve.

Multi-Screen

Each device offers a specific kind of

experience at each part of the day

Experience prioritization is observed in how consumers use each form of screen throughout the day. They use Tablets and Mobile

phones when they commute to work around 6am. Throughout the middle and bulk of the day, they depend on their desktops and

laptops to accomplish their daily tasks. At the end of the day they look to mobile, and to a greater extent tablets, to reward themselves

with technologically-augmented experiences once they get back home and as they multi-screen with their television sets.

3. “Good” Business

Only 33% of all brands are meaningful

Meaningful brands generate increasing

returns for their companies
