E-commerce has fundamentally changed consumers' relationships with brands. The rise of Amazon and Google Shopping has made a profound impact on how people buy things, what they buy and how they discover new products. According to a 2018 NPR and Marist survey, nearly two-thirds of U.S. consumers have purchased something online. The study found that of those two-thirds, nearly 92 percent of online consumers bought something from Amazon.

Few people understand the impact of e-commerce better than
