It's amazing how disparate the experience is in Europe. The first time I flew to CDG a year ago I honestly thought I somehow skipped customs accidentally. Heathrow, on the other hand, feels like a dystopian experience straight out of M

I don't know if this is a good or bad call, and I don't know if it's being driven by the out of touch perspective of the current administration, or if there is some rational logic behind the decision that the public isn'

As a millennial consumer (rolling my own eyes but it's true) who cut the cord, the biggest thing that pushed me toward doing so was seeing all of the sports channels I was paying for and never had an ounce of desire to watch. The way m

If ever there was a single shining example of how not to treat your customers, PayPal is it. Every year or two there is another story of a different arcane rule they have in place that is enforced with zero human consideration, oftentimes t

Therein lies the problem - even if they figure out how to monetize the audience they have now, "audiences" today are a million times more fickle and temporary. The amount of time a company like this has to recoup losses before it

Serious potential to do what? Even darling companies like snap can't figure out how to come anywhere near meeting expectations with the supposedly high value audiences they have.

I'm glad to see DJI getting involved on both sides of this. They should be fostering responsible use of their products and coming out against the small handful of reckless actors who are going to give everyone else a black eye. On a re

I'd say that's a little harsh. When I'm in public spaces, I see / encounter / take notice of people doing all sorts of things that they consider enjoyment, from smoking, to skateboarding, to kicking a ball around. D

I can understand the sentiment. I'm a frequent drone flyer and I try my best to quickly get it to an altitude where it's not all that loud or noticeable when I'm around other people. When it's 200-300ft up, it's bar

Really? I've talked to multiple Lyft drivers who've told me they recently switched over to Lyft because they've noticed the volume of fares go down driving for Uber. Also, anecdotally, I can say that in my group of friends a

Adtech is partly the result of CMOs over-optimizing for measurability. Marketing & advertising has had a long standing reputation as an unmeasurable activity, half of which was a total waste. As the tools to quantify the impact of some

100% agree. The most likely understandable metaphor for non bird owners is that parrots are like people trapped in another body. They need nearly constant mental stimulation and are very often unknowingly mistreated by being ignored.

True. I'm not condoning, just questioning.

I wonder if we'll eventually see a world where the former Uber drivers who are slowly being lulled into dependence fight back when their jobs are automated away. Autonomous vehicles could be an easy target in a lot of ways, especially

I'm curious to see how long it will take for the world to experience any meaningful kind of pushback against automation or AI. Today, I feel like all I see are a dwindling number of people saying they'd "rather deal with a re

100% agree. As a marketer, the first litmus test I apply in evaluating a role is the level of product market fit a company has achieved. As a marketer, I don't have the levers to get a company past that hump if they haven't on the

In my experience, the amount of human touch you need to provide through support, sales, implementation - is more a function of your audience than anything else. Selling to software developers, you can probably get away with low to no touch
