Digital Marketing

FEED 2009

This year’s FEED report by Razorfish shifted its focus away from how consumers are adapting to new digital technology and moved toward exploring how consumers are interacting with brands online.

Some highlights: experience matters, greatly, as consumers increasingly turn to digital to live their lives, interact with brands *and* make all sorts of decisions, including about what to buy, share and recommend.

Also, take a look at the new FEED blog — a site to show our thinking around digital experiences.
