The DTC movement sometimes feels like a religion, or even a cult (a really awesome one) But that's only because a lot of very vibrant and intelligent people, engaged in meaningful work with disruptive startups and multinational CPG companies, all recognize a core aspect about how commerce is evolving. At its core, DTC is about connection and about how, by going direct, you can create a new kind of customer relationship that's more personal, dynamic and valuable long term.
