How Lifestyle Brands are Rising to the Digital Disruption Challenge
Technology has made brands rethink the consumer journey. Many have embraced unlikely collaborations and launched new sub-brands and collections to stay ahead of the game.
Technology has transformed all industries, from music to manufacturing. The US lifestyle market is unrecognisable. Reality stars can build $1bn make-up companies on their phones through social media, while venerable department stores struggle to make their business add up in this new world.

To rise to this challenge, some established brands are reaffirming their commitment to causes, while others are partnering with start-ups to offer new services. Alongside them are a host of new companies offering services or products that would have been unsustainable just a decade ago.
