Consumers not only feel alive, they are also determined to accentuate the sensation. Their new roadmap is all about making choices that let them take full advantage of daily life and embrace every opportunity that presents itself.
This vital impulse guides the three major consumer profiles – “Human Capital” (respect all living things), “Rousing Commitment” (spread life), and “Unreal Realities” (experiment other existences) – and conveys as much respect for ancestral traditions and curiosity for other cultures as the invention of radically different worlds. Senses are regenerated and stimulated and we reconnect to all five of them to experience the sensoriality of materials. We even develop a sixth and seventh sense to achieve augmented reality. Or else we cultivate the notion of nonsense and enrich our relationships with lighthearted generosity. So many ways to reconnect to ourselves, others and the universe. So many ways to be alive.
