Touching on our fave things from the last month of letters.

Of course, we talk about Astronomer’s crisis marketing. We also discuss Range Rover’s misunderstanding of culture versus consumer. Why Bees and wearables will make privacy a super luxury. Plus, we talk about the rise of jingle, why ‘Holistic’ means something else today, and how Claire’s can thrive in this next chapter. And a bit more.

Enjoy!

01:39 — THE NEW CRISIS MODE // Astronomer’s latest move was a crash course in modern crisis comms. Read this in the letter here.
