How has the landscape for consumer brands changed over the past five years? “There was a moment in the pandemic and definitely pre-pandemic when the strongest, most resonant consumer brands of the zeitgeist were D2C and it made sense then. If you weren’t selling direct, you were missing out. People were anti-retail stores and a bit opposed to placement in big box stores," True Principal Natasha Sharma says. "We’re now in a stage where the pendulum has level set. Now founders are seeing those placements as part of their recipes in being ever-present and driving customer loyalty in as many viewpoints as the customer as possible. There’s less fear around not owning the entire shopping experience through D2C.” Learn more about Natasha, and the entire True team, here: https://lnkd.in/dfRqu_t8.
