Infographic: Engaging in the consumer conversation

This infographic summarizes why, more than ever, consumer products companies must directly engage with consumers. One important reason is that consumers are talking – all the time, everywhere – and it is they, not companies, who increasingly own the conversation about products and services. Consumers are critics and evangelists and curators. The old model, where communication was one-way and under the control of companies, is very nearly a thing of the past. The supply-driven world has become a demand-driven world where the consumer is in charge.
