In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives, from sharing photos and staying in touch with friends to discovering new products and services. But what if social media could do more than just connect us with others? What if it could also revolutionise the way we shop? This is Social Commerce.

This revelatory book delves into the cutting-edge innovations at the convergence of social media, technology and the marketplace. To survive and thrive, businesses are finding ingenious ways to leverage technology to deliver more personalised, relevant, and engaging experiences for customers, while also respecting their privacy and data rights. From shoppable posts to virtual influencers to AI-powered consumer insights, social commerce is poised to be a key frontier for MarTech (marketing technology), and a critical success factor for the brands of the future.

The titles in this new series, written by some of the most influential business leaders, thought leaders, practitioners and consultants in the industry, cover everything from business trends and technological innovations to revolutions in work culture and the critical skills you’ll need in order to stay ahead of the curve.
