About The Pattern: Daily Culture Briefing
From the publisher's feed
Before it's obvious. Five culture signals, five minutes, five days a week.
The Pattern is a daily briefing for innovators shaping brand, marketing and strategy. Each episode takes the five stories that matter across fashion, technology, retail, media and design, explains why each one matters, and connects them into one pattern you can take into a meeting that day.
Curated by Mike Litman and read in his own cloned voice.
The website has every episode with links to its sources, the brands and people the show keeps coming back to, and the themes that recur month by month. The briefing also comes by email.
