Power back to the Product

In a connected world, your product becomes becomes a gateway.


From digital passports and NFTs to resale, traceability, and data insights, every item becomes a channel for brand storytelling, customer loyalty, and long-term value.

This is how we turn products into virtuous brand ecosystems.

How Connected Products Are Transforming Marketing and Product Strategy

In a world where customer expectations evolve faster than product life cycles, a silent revolution is taking place: the product itself is becoming the most powerful touchpoint.

Thanks to technologies like NFC chips, digital passports, NFTs, and blockchain, we’re entering the era of connected products—objects that go far beyond function and form to become data-driven, experience-rich brand channels.

What Is a Connected Product?

A connected product is a physical item embedded with digital technology (like an NFC chip or QR code) that links to a secure, dynamic digital experience. Once scanned or tapped, it unlocks everything from product authentication and supply chain transparency, to personalised content, resale options, and loyalty programs.

For marketers and product managers, this means one thing: Products are no longer part of the journey—they're the start of it.

Why Connected Products Matter Now?

Today’s customers expect more than transactions—they seek trust, transparency, personalisation, and ongoing value. Brands that meet these expectations build stronger, longer-lasting relationships and stand out in saturated markets.
