In March 2021, digital artist Beeple sold his piece “The First 5,000 days” as an NFT at a Christie’s auction for $69 million. In February, Grimes sold an NFT for $6 million, and in May “Disaster Girl” sold the meme that made her name for $500k to clear off her student debts. At this point you’re possibly wondering, WTF is an NFT?

On Wednesday, September 29th, I had the privilege of hosting the inaugural Hispanic Heritage and Inclusive Storytelling edition of Siegel+Gale’s Future of Branding series to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month. Through the personal journeys of six senior brand leaders, we honored the depth and richness of Hispanic and LatinX history and culture as well as their communities’ contributions to American society. And the discussion went beyond celebration to examine how brands are observing Hispanic Heritage Month.

As retailers search for new methods to win customers’ hearts and minds, a brand’s physical space of commerce will not play the same transactional role as it once did. With so much accelerated change in the external forces, the bigger opportunity is to have a fluid mindset for their retail experience. Retailers must think of their spaces as living, breathing and ever-changing organisms—called organic retail—that operate more like code or software than a static footprint.

Living out of a hotel used to be something only seen in movies. But in the age of digital nomads and remote working, hotels are making it simple for consumers to stay long-term. From InterContinental to Marriott, brands are taking a page out of Netflix’s handbook and offering subscription models.

I recently hosted a multigenerational conversation with five marketing leaders and their Boomer parents, where we explored how brands are approaching this generation.
