    5 Newsletters for Trends & Products

Transcript

Five newsletters I read every week to keep me up to speed on trends and products. The first is Best Checkout. My friend Nate basically curates everything in news happening in CPG, and this is from software releases to updates on products no just things happening in the industry, and it saved me a ton of time aggregating this information from other places. Casey Lewis has an excellent newsletter called Better School, basically about Gen Z and Gen Z trends, which helps me keep up to date with the youth. Celebrity packaged goods specifically details everything happened in the creator brand and celebrity brand space. It's super organized, a ton of info, and helped me discover a lot about how creators are promoting their brands. If you're a marketing operator in a scaling brand, then Nick Sharma's DTC newsletter is super useful. He goes really in-depth on lots of complex technical topics that you're gonna tackle as you scale a brand. And then for trends in men's style, Clayton Chambers' Sprezza is another great newsletter. Much like I do with bookmarks, I take Pacific tier Sunday to roll through the my favorite newsletters to make sure I've got fresh ideas and concepts going into the week.
