MAKE YOUR CHATBOT USE INTERJECTIONS (OH WOW!)

Chatbots that use interjections like “Aww,” “Oh,” or “Wow” are perceived as more human and lead to better customer experiences. In four experiments, such chatbots increased user satisfaction by 49.7%, improved perceived performance by 8.2%, and made users feel 17.5% more understood. Even in negative situations, people were 54.8% more likely to keep shopping with the company.

Tariffs don't just raise prices, they often stop innovation before products ever reach shelves. This post shares how a promising diffuser project at Newell Brands was shelved due to a 25% tariff, even with strong demand and research behind it. Protectionist policies can limit creativity and stall momentum, forcing brands to quietly abandon good ideas. The impact is often invisible but significant, affecting choices, strategy, and the trust consumers place in a brand.

PR DISASTERS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED: LESSONS FROM HIGH-PROFILE FAILURES

PR issues at Nike, Ulta, and Netflix show how even well-known brands can lose control of the narrative through bad communication. Nike's 2025 marathon ad campaign, which presented a simplistic, commercialized take on marathoners' complex motivations, failed not in intent but in execution. Ulta Beauty's 2022 marketing team overlooked the cultural implications of their email language, sending a tone-deaf message that contradicted public expectations for brand sensitivity. Netflix's 2023 password-sharing announcement lacked strategic rollout planning and message clarity, resulting in consumer confusion.
