We live in a state of constant unrest - stuck in an endless cycle of fake news and toxic politicians. Society has never seemed more divided about the fundamentals for a sustainable future, yet we remain cautiously optimistic. As a result, we’re seeing a more mindful consumer emerge. Driven by mood, people are making more conscious decisions - looking for emotionally intelligent alternatives to their fast-paced lifestyles. Welcome to the New Normal. A sign of the times, it lays out the drivers that have given rise to these new behaviours as well as the brands and businesses that are embracing this change. Please join us on 29th October at Protein Studios for the launch of our New Normal report. If you're not a member and would like to come, you can sign-up here ...
