Populations are changing and different generations are now flooding the workforce, causing organizations to design for a different and more active user. Suzanne Carawan articulates this change and the shift in digital in her webinar Using Interactive Content to Convert Prospects into Customers.

Why Interactive
You may be thinking…why interactive? The answer is simple – interactive content forces participation! Think about your interaction with your phone – it is an active relationship to snap, like, post, call, and so on. The same goes for your organization’s digital marketing efforts.
