As 2016 drew to a close, we offered our predictions on the digital trends to watch in 2017.  

We looked at everything from the latest consumer-facing tech innovations, to changes in the way businesses and agencies work together, with a growing focus on products over projects.  

Whilst we're pretty confident in our predictions, we'll happily admit that they're not all entirely original ‚ to really break out of the industry filter bubble, perhaps we needed to take a step back.

We thought it would be interesting to gather some insight and see how consumers actually feel about things like chatbots, VR and voice assistants.
