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.

Future of Branding: Hispanic Heritage and Inclusive Storytelling
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.

Future of Branding: CMOs on Corporate Public Boards
On November 16, I hosted a Future of Branding panel where along with six CMOs, we unraveled the mystery of CMOs and corporate governance. We were also joined by a special guest, Richard Sanderson, Marketing, Communications & Sales Practice Leader, Spencer Stuart. Together we explored the unique value a CMO brings to a public board, managing multiple commitments, diversifying the makeup of boards and how serving on a public board can inform a CMO's day job, ultimately benefiting the brands they lead.

What to keep in mind when revamping DEI strategies
DEI needs to be woven into the fabric of your communications every day. The question, then, is how to make that happen? It requires returning to the language of your core business strategy and reading again … very, very closely.

The power and importance of inclusive storytelling
Balancing authenticity and action is difficult. One action often outweighs the other, resulting in a disparity that negatively affects people and brand purpose. I offer three imperatives that marketers and other business leaders can implement to authentically and actionably appeal to Hispanic consumers.

How to localize your global brand
ith most major cities now awash with the same multinational brand names, the local feel of many urban thoroughfares has all but disappeared. Still, the sense of familiarity that comes along with the classic Italian restaurant, or well-known Irish pub, does provide customers with enough predictability to make comfortable choices and reduce risk of a disappointing purchase. While predictability offers some clear positives for customers, there are downsides as well.
