• What are the factors that will drive a great digital experience?

• What is the maturity of businesses in ASEAN regarding the digital experience they offer customers and employees?

How Content Shapes Brand Experiences

Research shows that content directly impacts the way customers feel about a brand.

​

• 60% of us use the same type of emotional language for our favourite brands as we do family, friends and pets. Words like HAPPY, ADORE, LOVE...

• 44% of people would recommend a product or brand to others based on emotional criteria

• 62% of consumers feel they have a relationship with a brand

How can brands stay “human” as businesses pivot to be digital-first and what role does content play?
