One of the key things we frequently observe is the speed with which the retail space is evolving and how many people are finding it challenging to keep up. That’s exactly why we started this podcast - to provide experts a stage to share what they have been working on, bring new ideas to the forefront, create more awareness, and explore cutting-edge technologies. In a world where customer experiences can make or break a brand, “The Retail Spotlight” is a new podcast series where executives from leading retailers and brands share their stories, innovations, and strategies that puts the customer at the center of every experience. The Retail Spotlight podcast is powered by refive (https://www.refive.io/en/)
