What's it about?
Disruptions are the new normal, meaning that discontinuities will be a feature of the marketplace, not the exception. And in this future, volatility will become more characteristic of the consumer experience in the marketplace and in people's lifestyles.
What's in it for me?
But alongside apprehension and anxiety is a rising enthusiasm about a return to the marketplace. Consumers are spending more. It is the tension between apprehension and enthusiasm that will define the future and thus the imperative for brands to bring consumers along by de-risking engagement and participation. In this presentation, Kantar Knowledge Lead J. Walker Smith will explore the dynamics of this tension and the opportunity for brands fully unlock the consumer marketplace.

CRIC’s mandate is to:
represent the highest standards, ethics and best practices in research, analytics and insights;
advocate for sound policy and regulations that encourage a supportive environment for research and analytics;
support new and innovative ways to gather insights;

As well, CRIC has incorporated the polling standards of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR), in order to promote the highest ethics and transparency in policy-related and public opinion polling.
