When Products Talk, Brands Should Listen

The power of digital emotional intelligence

Smart phones. Smart speakers. An app for everything. Today’s consumers are more connected than ever, and brands have never been more able to benefit. Welcome, smart consumers, smarter clothes and empowered brands.

New Report:
Digital Emotional Intelligence

The Digital Emotional Intelligence (DEQ) is a framework for applying real-time data from smart, connected devices, products, and environments to build deeper, more emotionally intelligent connections with customers. The report presents new research that emotional “conversations” between connected products and the consumers who buy them are conversations to which brands should pay attention.

Findings were released during a panel at our Customer Design and Innovation Center (CDIC) in New York on Wednesday, November 8, featuring Uri Minkoff, President and CEO of Rebecca Minkoff; Bill Toney, Vice President Global RFID Market Development at Avery Dennison; and Liz Bacelar, founder of Decoded Fashion and The Current.
