Report: The advertisers guide to light e-commerce

No matter the trends, not every brand can — or should — go full direct-to-consumer, but every brand can learn from the DTC playbook.

Namely, the most successful DTC players have created dazzling moments and deep customer relationships with attractive brand-website experiences, Shoppable social activations and robust influencer strategies.
