Disruption in retail has only been accelerated by the global pandemic. Major changes from the decline of brick-and-mortar stores, to the rise of ecommerce, and growth in social commerce, have been since before people stayed home, bought online, and became more engaged in social issues.
Join Business Insider for a series of conversations with entrepreneurs and industry experts to discuss new strategies, innovations, and retail’s place in a society undergoing massive change.
IGNITION: A Retail Revolution opens with a keynote titled “Brand Transformation is the Key to Retail’s Survival”, by Cassi Pittman Claytor, Climo Junior Professor of Sociology at Case Western Reserve University.
Pittman Claytor, who was named one of Business Insider’s 100 People Transforming Business in North America, has consulted with companies like Sephora, demonstrating how racism interferes in each part of the customer journey, from the moment a consumer realizes they have a need to the moment they make that purchase.
Other topics covered will include the rise of subscription services, “last mile” delivery partnerships, and social commerce in an omnichannel world.
