Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 27 January
Query:
Companies are struggling with getting tied to political messages
they may not endorse while still trying to promote their brands
and interests. A number of companies have been noisily saying
that they would cut their donations to candidates that seemed to
back the DC attack while pushing for a Supreme Court decision
that would make dark money donations even easier to undertake.
Some have said that they won't have ads during the Super Bowl.
Is that political? What are the five to seven things that brands
are doing to avoid controversy from either the left or the
right? How well are these tactics working? Looking to hear about
real examples, theory, etc. from demonstrable experts in
marketing and advertising, whether academic or practicing
(although for the latter, I'd prefer observations from within
companies more than agencies). What has been working? What
hasn't?

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 28 January
Query:
It looks like remote work will see a permanent boost after the
pandemic--not all workers, but many. We're examining who the
business winners might be, beyond obvious answers like Zoom. Or
why a company might seem like a winner but might not be. Or who
is pushing to be a winner because they feel pressure, whether a
company like WeWork or gyms, that are trying to woo people back.
Is there more demand for automobiles? More laptop sales? Food
delivery services at lunch? Ergonomic furniture? What are the
other possibilities? What regional variations might there be?
Not looking for a simple echo of what I have, nor for "we have a
product that everyone will want." Looking for identifiable
trends and clear analysis.
