“Rapidly shifting consumer expectations require brands to become digital-first, fast,” said Steve Sloan, CEO of Contentful. “The winners in the digital-first era know that digital devices are the front door to every business. They also realize that their pace of innovation can’t keep up with customer expectations if they use last-decade tools and strategies. Contentful has cultivated the largest global network of solutions and technology partners to assist brands with everything from innovation to implementation.”

Also at the Fast Forward conference, leading brands such as Ikea, Equinox, Atlassian, and EA; as well as top digital agencies and tech companies such as Deloitte, R/GA, Mux, Variis, translations.com, Appnovation, AWS and Commercetools; share winning strategies for the digital-first era.

Contentful’s industry-leading app framework is used across industries and use cases, not only by customers to create their own custom workflows, but also by partners such as Commercetools and Mux to accelerate building and launching new digital experiences for consumers.

From adding ready-to-use apps to creating customized solutions, the app framework allows businesses to build on top of and adapt Contentful’s platform without friction. This ensures the platform fits their unique needs, so they can leverage content strategically across any digital channel.
