DIGITAL DARWINISM
CONCLUSIONS
• Digital Transformation is impacting every sector, every company and every profession
• In traditional companies, Marketing and communication are one of the most impacted jobs
• M & C professionals have to deal with the multiplication of channels, devices, supports and stakeholders
• The exponential adoption pace of technology is and will dramatically change the way we communicate
• Change resistance is not an option
• It is about digital darwinism
• It offers a world of opportunities for people and companies to re-define who they are, how they interact and
where they want to go
• Developing skills must be a priority for communication professionals
