What are the trends and technologies driving brands in 2019?

What came first, the chicken or the egg? It’s a rhetorical question. We say it to make a point, but nobody knows the answer - or rather there’s no right answer. It’s a question that I came back to when I started thinking about the trends that will drive brands and marketing decisions in 2019. That’s because there are two strong forces converging on brands and sometimes it’s hard to decipher which is leading and which is running to keep up.
