OMNIPRESENT BRANDS – The Power to Be Everywhere and How to Achieve It

As we move forward at an unprecedented marketing speed in an age of data based connections (AI), faster & faster internet speeds (5G & beyond), newer ways of connecting (metaverse, voice etc), trust based connections (blockchain), we do not just grapple with cross media channels, or building multi-channel strategies – Marketers need to plan how Brands can live, engage, communicate and build marketing profitability in an era of Omnipresence.

How have some brands been nailing the omnipresent strategy - what kind of tech and partners can help?
