Back to All insights
In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, A&M’s David Brown and Chad Lusk join Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss hot topics in consumer and retail.
Listen Here
This week’s topics:
- Amazon’s gobsmacking first-ever reported ad revenue figures.
- Another airport-based convenience retailer, this time a British one, WHSmith, licensing Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” tech in LaGuardia airport. How daft!
- Macy’s latest in store partnership that, let’s just say, left us in a bloody twist.
- DoorDash charging McDonald’s extra for making its delivery drivers just sit there faffing around while waiting too long for their orders
- And 7-Eleven’s new partnership with GrubHub that left me, for one, absolutely flummoxed.
There’s all that, plus our favorite handyman jobs around the house and “after-dark” teddy bears.
Yes, you read that last sentence right. It is a real thing.”
