The reality for many brands is that the needs and
wants of the new consumer often don’t align with the
narrative that they’ve labored to build.
For rising numbers of consumers, brand heritage and
story has become at best irrelevant, and at worst an
active barrier: one which prevents brands they might
engage with from offering a product or service that’s
right for them, today.

Unlike established – often tainted – brands, startup
CLEAN SLATE BRANDS often better embody the values of
contemporary consumers: storied, responsive, accessible,
sustainable, ethical.
What’s more, the sheer volume of innovation, in every
sector, means a host of new (and more relevant and
simply ‘better’) solutions than those from legacy
competitors.
As for barriers to trusting new brands? They’ve fallen
away in a marketplace of total information and perceived
accountability.

Heritage has been a reliable global export for many
established brands.
Next: the continued power shifts in the global economy
will overturn sacred brand cows.
Eager-yet-aware, younger-yet-experienced, wealthy-yet-
irreverent emerged market consumers’ tastes will mature
and evolve. These consumers will turn away from the
‘tired’ brands their parents lusted after, and towards fresh
and exciting brands that enter unchartered waters with
their products, services and campaigns.
