In a world full of staged experiences and marketing storytelling, the new consumer values brands that are authentic. Brand realness has little to do with origin, history or heritage today, it's all about staying true to yourself, being honest, open and transparent. And respect consumers by listening to them in an equally levelled conversation.

1/ H20 = not so relevant to youngsters
2/ Perception (and consistency) is reality
