As our lives continue to be more digitally connected and interactive, the way we use and consume products, services and brands is no longer a simple exchange, but a relationship we build. Trust lies at the centre of every relationship; but who and how we trust is changing, and the way we build trust is evolving. From making a payment to sharing information in the digital and physical worlds, safety and security are table stakes, while connections and understanding are the new currency.
