In this episode of Unpacked, Silvia Coleman, VP of Market Intelligence & Strategic Growth at CXG, is joined by Michael Zakkour, Founder & CEO of 5 New Digital, Managing Director at SellSide Group M&A, bestselling author, and globally recognized strategist in digital commerce and consumer behavior.
Together, they explore how premium and luxury DTC brands can scale without losing what matters most: experiential relevance. From the dangers of over-investing in flashy tech to the “experiential blind spot” that quietly bleeds revenue, they dive into the moment where digital growth meets luxury CX principles, where ecosystems replace channels, and “points of service” evolve into points of experience.
The conversation also touches on:
- The shift from omnichannel to experiential habitats.
- Why physical retail becomes a customer acquisition engine
- Transferable CX lessons from China and Asia
- The Triangle Business Model: content, community, and commerce
- The paradox of “slow luxury”
- Balancing immersive tech with high-touch human service
