Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-bqla@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Forbes
Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 15 January
Query:
I am working on a story that sheds light on why and how consumer
product firms (think white goods, garment, packaged goods,
furniture, beauty products) should make (or contract to make)
multi-media electronics, such as smart speakers/monitors.
Example: When Mirror was purchased by Lululemon last year, why
did they do it? How did it allow them to create a better user
experience, a loyal following, future upsell revenue? How about
selling bundles of a smart device, a product (say a shirt,
microwave, detergent) and content (song, video for entertainment
or education). This goes beyond putting sensors on products to
inform the consumer of its performance and, if lucky, report
this back to the manufacturer to improve quality control. I am
looking for key opinion leaders who from their own experience in
manufacturing or media and have been or are currently working on
such offerings, the challenges and opportunities they see, the
economics behind it, constraints in their business model,
competitive threats, etc. (basically a SWOT analysis).
Requirements:
It will have to be a 30 minute interview with such a key opinion
leader. Again, this person has to have worked or is currently
working/leading on such an offering at a manufacturer of
consumer products (no consulting or software vendors please) or
content publisher/distributor. These folks need to have been in
VP-level roles or higher in these organizations in strategy,
sales, marketing, operations. They also need to have a social
media presence either publishing content in industry
publications or magazines.

President-elect Joe Biden has laid out an ambitious agenda to

additional stimulus checks? Will he move toward student loan
forgiveness -- or at least toward extending the payment
moratorium? In short, I'm seeking thoughts on how average
Americans could benefit financially from a Biden administration
as well as what the impact could be for higher earners. Thank
