What happened

Another year, another look back at linguistic trends.

Why it matters

If there’s one thing marketers, founders and VCs alike all love, it’s buzzwords. And it has certainly been a banner year for buzzwords. Investors known for evangelizing direct-to-consumer brands turned their crosshairs to Web3; but what does that even mean? We at Modern Retail are happy you asked!

In this robust (though, admittedly, not exhaustive) glossary of industry lingo, we aim to provide a lens into the turning tides of the brand and retailer landscape. From omnichannel to iOS14 to NFT, below is our attempt at explaining all the things you read on Twitter but were too lazy to look up. Enjoy!
