Consumer Chronicles

Consumer Chronicles is growing up and moving house. After building this community on LinkedIn, I’m moving my newsletter to a new home on beehiiv. Why? Because it's growing and needs to have a dedicated home to house the new content that is coming. Now it’s time to take it to the next level: • Sleeker design • Bonus content & downloads • Guest interviews from the smartest people in the industry (starting with some great leaders at analysts, luxury goods and grocery companies) • And more features that LinkedIn can’t quite offer including audio newsletters, collaboration and our new podcast The new structure means each edition will have a deep dive, insights from gemba (at the coal face with clients), insights on key innovations, a weekly wrap of major news and to keep it light, a comic strip at the end plus major executive jobs in the sectors. This isn’t another content dump. It’s strategy, storytelling, and signal—built for operators, advisors, and decision-makers. Take a few seconds and join over 650+ insiders shaping the future of retail - subscribe now and get access to leading insights, frameworks and playbooks. Edition one builds on quick commerce, the SHEIN IPO, a great new bit of research by Ashish Chaturvedi over at HFS Research, a look at what keeps a retail CIO awake at night, and news updates across Walmart, Spur, Kering and Korea's new AI retail alliance.
