"The pace at which we see predictive and automated shopping take hold is going be far more significant than where it’s been to date. Brands and retailers will move to an even greater degree past their reliance on a customers’ past purchase history or self-provided preferences."

As part of the fabric of Columbus, and the nation as a whole, everyone has been affected by the course of events of the past week. As an organization, we condemn racism of any kind. And we should make every effort to support the hard struggle toward a future where it does not exist. And on a smaller scale, as a group of professionals, friends, colleagues, and humans, we need to support each other and our loved ones.

We’ve joined several hundred local Columbus businesses to sign a letter that’s been delivered to City Council, supporting a proposed resolution labeling racism a public health crisis. To quote a part of that letter: “We hope and believe the Resolution will appropriately bring increased government and private-sector attention to these persistent and systemic issues.” ➖
