This is a question for all my business friends–even if we haven’t met in person yet: How are YOU using AI today, and how will your work life change in the coming months? The Chinese word for “crisis” is often incorrectly said to be made up of two characters, “danger” and “opportunity.” The actual meaning is more like “crucial point.” This is a crucial point in marketing and many other professions, full of danger and opportunity. I had a chance to share what I’m doing on a recent Radio St. Pete interview with news director Nanette Wiser. Give a listen and let’s discuss in the comments!

How are you using packaging, POS, and storytelling to set your products apart? Here’s another shot of our Sprouts Farmers Market display for Noble Citrus. Our client spent 40 years cultivating a perfect tangerine, so we were especially honored to help bring this one to market. Our agency+client team did a terrific job on this.

Many thanks to Noble Citrus and Sprouts Supermarkets!
