Spent the afternoon @alchemmy London office where Lawrence shared his story and held a Q&A after screening #PaintoPurpose.
Great opportunity to talk about social mobility,the power of mentoring and our new Empower Me programme for young people.
Thanks for having us!

With the backdrop of #TheCity and #London lights, Maya and Lucy kicked off tonight’s #FutureofRetail event. Thx to all our fantastic panellists and engaging audience. You were all outstanding. Great to talk #GenZRetail#metaverse and more
“GenZ like to blur lines. They are shopping and watching a movie and talking to friends all at the same time. The metaverse is a blurring of boundaries - physical and virtual - which makes it interesting for this generation” - says Chris, @more2ltd , at the #futureofretail event
There is surely a question as to what actually is the #metaverse … is it virtual, is it #VR, does it need #blockchain and #nfts, does it require a #VR headset … where are the lines drawn. Will it be like #cloud where everything is suddenly defined by the term!
“people are spending 7x more time in virtual 3d environments, keeping them engaged longer and higher conversion” … great insight from @BrandLabJen from @BrandLab360 at our #GenZRetail event tonight
“Brand DNA is really important as you build 3d environments, and thinking about customer journey and the use of data - use #VR to mimic the physical environment and improve both virtual and physical” .. 77% of transactions in online shopping are abandoned in the basket…
“You can still have that human touch with automation” .. good point from the audience by James in response to Sally’s surprise at this statistic in the #futureofretail debate
Julie “It’s a given. You have no choice. Your brand and products need to be sustainable, and our customers don’t expect to pay more for it” #futureofretail#genzretail#sustainability
