Chasing
Documenting the launch of a book that explores the decline of cherished high-street traditions and what keeps some businesses thriving against the odds.
About this project
How do you effectively document a book launch that explores the decline of once-familiar and cherished traditions and businesses?
Over the past five years, following the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed significant changes as sales shifted from physical stores to online platforms. The stores that once served as communal hubs are gradually closing down. Despite this overall decline on the high street, some businesses continue to thrive against the odds.
What factors have contributed to the resilience of these successful businesses? How have they managed to stay relevant and maintain a high level of impact during challenging times?
All these questions and more are addressed in the book Chasing Permanence, which delves into the stories of perseverance, adaptation, and the pursuit of lasting relevance amid inevitable change.
