Media Outlet: Authority Magazine
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 15 October
Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new interview
series called
The Future Of Retail In The Post Pandemic World. Full
description here https://bit.ly/3iF9Xju
The Pandemic has changed many aspects of all of our lives. One
of them is the fact that so many us us have gotten used to
shopping almost exclusively online. With services like Amazon
Prime, Instacart, Grubhub, Uber Eats, what will the future of
retail look like? How will retail outlets create a fate
different than Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus,
J. Crew, Payless Shoes, and Forever21.
We would like to explore the different ideas that large retail
outlets are implementing to adapt to the new realities created
by the Pandemic as well as the "Retail Apocalypse". How will
retail adapt to the enormous pressure created by Amazon Prime?
Will malls continue to exist? What is the role of retail stores?
We would like to speak to executives, C-suites and business
leaders of medium and large retail companies who can share their
vision for retail over the next five years.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/social-impact-heroes-how-amber-zenith-emily-nelson-have-helped-to-reignite-a-love-for-aerobic-workouts-across-north-america/
In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the best ideas will be submitted to Buzzfeed and
Entrepreneur.com, like these we have done:
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/345415
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/340907
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/339554
The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:

Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.

the series. Most interviews will not require phone interviews
and can be done by email. Requirements:

leaders of medium and large retail companies who can share their
vision for retail over the next five years. We would
particularly like to talk to retailers that have been profitable

Name: Daniel Burstein MarketingSherpa
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bb1y@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: MarketingSherpa
Deadline: 9:00 AM EST - 29 September
Query:
Has your company ever had a disconnect with the customer? The
company read the customer wrong? Assumed the customer wanted
something they didn't? The prospect's perception gap?
This is why marketing and business is so hard. Businesses make
assumptions about the customer. But sometimes they are wrong.
We're looking for specific examples of how you overcame this
disconnect with the customer. The specific example can be from
any industry and should include: * Before (what the company
thought the customer wanted) * After (how you changed things)
* Results * Advice for other marketers based on your specific
example * Your/your sources' role in the campaign/message
Please include your (and/or your client's) name, title, and
company, so we know how to attribute you in the article if your
example is chosen (if your proposed source works for an agency,
platform or other vendor, we need a quote with advice for
marketers from someone who actually works at the brand/client as
well).
Feel free to include your LinkedIn and Twitter handles for when
we share the article with our audience on social media
(https://twitter.com/marketingsherpa).
Here is a key piece of content we'll be sharing in the article,
to spark your thinking:
https://marketingexperiments.com/conversion-marketing/episode-3-conversion-heuristic-analysis
Here are previous articles to give you an example of what the
final published article will look like:

https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/case-study/using-data-as-a-force-for-the-good
A few things I do to make the experience better for sources:
- I respond to every pitch to let you know I got it
- If you are included in the article, I will send you a link
once it is published
- If you have a question, I will answer it
