In a survey of 30,000 consumers spawning 28 global markets, according to a HubSpot webinar on social media trends conducted earlier this year, consumer trust in authority is at historical lows. Additionally, traditional media is at an all time low in 17 countries according to a 2017 Trust Barometer.

We do want to take away is what this means for brands and specifically for global, national, and regional associations trying to get their message across the divide.
