Price increases are expected across categories, including a 15-20% rise in toys sourced from China.

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CODE: AI STARTUPS LIKE CLUELY AND SERIES ARE MAKING A BIG BET ON MARKETING, GEN Z–STYLE

Cluely built its reputation on viral stunts and creator-driven marketing. Its CMO, Daniel Min, has centered the company's growth on social media, relying on provocative videos, UGC, and local creators.
