a.     The Future of Selling is Social

Social commerce is set to sweep the world, predicted to become a $1.2 trillion wave of change by 2025. It's radically different from traditional e-commerce by blending buying and selling with a sense of urgency across communities. But out of the millions of people, brands and businesses on social media, how many are actually leveraging the power of social shopping? This is where we zoom into the latest wave that’s taking the world by storm — TikTok. We’ll share how this platform is paving the way across businesses and audiences, and how it's making its way into the future.
