Key Takeaways
When executing a PR offensive against a 'cancel culture' attack, you should always punch up at major organizations or CEOs rather than punching down at low-level employees to avoid looking like a bully.
The e-commerce industry suffers from massive costs due to sizing returns; a standardized biometric 'fit' profile that integrates via API could significantly reduce friction and overhead for apparel brands.
Labor-intensive service roles like drive-through order-taking can be unbundled from physical locations and outsourced to remote operators managing multiple sites at once to eliminate downtime and reduce costs.
