The Attention Economy

The Attention Economy

Is grounded in digital media and advertising. Brands must be the loudest voice in the room to compete in this economy, delivering irrelevant messages.


The Trust Economy

The Trust Economy

Is built on the foundation of earning customer trust. Customers who are emotionally connected to brands have 306% higher lifetime value and spend 2x as much as customers who are simply satisfied with a brand.


Irrelevant and distracting messages are inundating consumers every day. Engagement and trust levels are plummeting as people tune out the thousands of marketing messages they encounter, especially in an AI-enabled future.

Given these challenges, the industry is shifting toward deeper, trust-based customer engagement—what we call the Intelligence Economy, where context is king.

Powered by AI, the Intelligence Economy uncovers customer needs and preferences to deliver meaningful, timely experiences that foster lasting trust.
