Welcome to GDR Futures 93!

Matt Poile

From AI-powered assistants to immersive brand universes, it’s time to take stock of the key innovations from the year so far.

In Theme Retail, we see how brands are creating self-contained universes in stores, helping to tell compelling stories and giving shoppers more reasons to visit in person.

Everyday AI explores some of the digital tools taking care of day-to-day tasks, whether it’s life admin or routine shopping tasks. In End-to-End Robotics, we can start to see the huge range of new applications these machines are having – both in stores, at home and behind the scenes.

Bitesize Media looks at the apps and platforms reducing friction and barriers to entry, while Fantasy Travel offers consumers a complete departure from the everyday.

Empowered Wellness sees how brands are meeting the needs of increasingly health-conscious shoppers, while Radical Transparency explores new approaches to the brand-consumer relationship.

Don’t forget, GDR subscribers can find all the examples collected here on our Futures Vault platform alongside many more. For more information, please contact rachel@gdruk.com.
