In 2014, Hodges founded Consumers in Motion (CIM), after his astounding success using mobile technology to support and educate the US State Department to reach civilians when the infrastructure went down in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. As word of Dan’s success with the State Department at Mobile World Congress spread, he began to be flooded with offers from Fortune 100 companies to do the same for them. CIM has since worked with thousands of executives to improve their companies’ ability to innovate and navigate a rapidly changing marketplace.
Sensing an emerging need for brick and mortar retail experiences, his most recent collaboration is a strategic partnership formed in 2016 in association with the National Retail Federation. CIM created immersive learning experiences for retailers at the event and while visiting innovative retailers in New York City and Los Angeles. The instant success measured in the sale of NRF Retail Store Tours tickets at the NRF Conventions in Las Vegas and New York, was an indicator of the public’s interest in curated retail experiences.
