As an expert in your space, can you share one small but actionable tip for brands?
(1) Build the habit of study by scheduling consistent time to read and learn. (2) Set OKRs.

Who’s your current brand crush, and what do you love about them?
Hoka because they actively seek out their customers' opinions (not passive social listening). They do a great job of somehow being everywhere, and they have infiltrated so many niches professionally and aesthetically. They have a calm sense of staying power.

What’s your favorite data point to dive into? Why?
Oh wow. aMER for now, but I reserve the right to change that. Full list of my must-haves: Revenue, spend, aMER, revenue from new customers, revenue from repeat customers. (I of course care about CAC and CVR, but that's a KPI within a channel that I let someone else manage. It ladders UP to the set I look at.)
