Consumers are calling brands’ bluff these days. No longer can there be a solely transactional relationship between brand and consumer, but a relationship built on true cultural exchange. Many companies are beginning to acknowledge the shift from just making good products to providing meaningful experiences. Of course, an important component in creating social change, is working with the communities you aim to serve in order to embolden the growing cultural fabric and not dictate it. This requires brands to experiment and offer their resources in ways they haven’t done before.

The promise of human-future interaction.

Imagining a sustainable future is like observing a series of waves crashing upon a shore, imperceptibly eroding the sand away.
It isn't clear whether we're at high or low tide, so we can't be sure how far to stand from the water. We try to judge, in the far distance, if there are large waves that may get our feet wet, or even worse, pull us out in the undertow. There are a fearless few out surfing the breakers, but most people are content to rest on their towels, sun themselves, and read a book or two. There is no clear understanding of how our actions on the shore will change the quality of the water, or what lives beneath the surface. Our influence on the known world is intangible.

The Interactive Community’s role in the sustainability movement is vital but cannot exist in a vacuum of lofty ideas.
Multitasking at panels and keynotes has become the norm, and South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) exhibits a particularly intense form of this behavior. It makes sense though, as this is a conference made up in large part by and for the very interaction designers who create all this multitasking software. Besides, there's so much updating, tweeting and micro-blogging to do that it's become half the fun of attending. And so in the vast, darkened presentation hall of the second keynote of SXSWi it wasn't surprising at all to see the electrically lit screens of the digerati dotting the landscape as they all did their thing during the speech. What struck me this time, however, was the relationship between what was being said on stage and what was being done on the screens of the audience.

Last week I sat on a panel at swissnex San Francisco, discussing sustainability in business. The panelists represented a wide range of industries, from a start-up software entrepreneur to a leadership expert at a major grocery chain and a research scientist from a global food producer; each had a story to tell about their field and the conversation was lively. As the lone designer in the bunch, however, I often felt like I was speaking a different language.
