The pace of change is quicker than it's ever been and it will not be as slow as it is now. With disruption everywhere brands need entrepreneurial courage, strategies for re-invention and the internal operations to drive change throughout the organisation.
An answer to managing constant change and finding new sources of growth is building relationships with start-ups as they reframe business challenges and mitigate the risks associated with building new solutions.
For us at Publicis Media we believe in the power of start-ups to transform our own and our clients' business. We achieve this by creating future-facing partnerships and a relentless test & learn mentality. This is at the heart of NextTECHnow - a fully managed service for clients to collaborate with emerging technology companies drawing on our scale, network, talent and activation expertise.
Disruption comes in many forms - as do the possible solutions for business transformation. NextTECHnow is making it our mission to help clients innovate through executing partnerships that create value for both their business and the start-up marketplace
