In this seventh installment of our Social Brands & The Future Of Marketing series, we explore the importance of moving beyond products to offer people immersive, engaging experiences that allow the full breadth of the brand's promise to come to life. To read our full thinking on these Social Brands topics, you'll find extensive write-ups at http://wearesocial.sg/tag/social-brands. If you'd like further info, or have any questions about the Social Brands pieces or our work, please tweet us via @wearesocialsg, or email us at sayhello@wearesocial.sg
