Porter by John Lewis

John Lewis

Retail doesn’t know how to speak to consumers anymore. Retail giants, like department stores, cater to so many people that millennials feel they can’t connect to them. Young people love retail as an idea, but have a hard time working with its complicated terms —it feels like being in a long distance relationship.

Porter is a friendly pocket concierge that lets you be in control. Porter bridges the gap between consumer and retail so that connections become more personal and closer to what urban millennials are looking for.
