FROM PEPSICO TO TACO BELL, DIRTY SODA IS TAKING OVER

Dirty soda, a mix of soda with cream, syrups, and other flavorings, grew from a Utah-based Swig into a national trend that is revitalizing the sluggish soft drink category. Popularized by TikTok and reality TV, it has spread from soda shops to restaurants, grocery aisles, and fast-food chains like McDonald's and Taco Bell. Beverage giants such as PepsiCo and Keurig Dr Pepper are launching ready-to-drink versions, as they see it as a way to attract younger consumers.

NIKESKIMS: THE BUSINESS & LEGAL ARCHITECTURE BEHIND THE NEW BRAND

NikeSKIMS merges Nike's performance expertise with SKIMS' knowledge of fit and cultural relevance. It's a new activewear category rather than just a line of leggings and sports bras under a shared logo. Likely structured as a licensing deal, Nike owns all intellectual property, including creative assets, trademarks, and design patents, while any co-branded items would need SKIMS marks removed if the deal ends. The venture leverages Nike's talent, manufacturing, and IP alongside SKIMS' brand equity and retail network.

Its team tested over 40 videos before finding breakout success with a “green whiteboard” storytelling style that made complex topics digestible and repeatable. Scripts were informed by peer-reviewed research and audience pain points. Opal's branding remained very subtle but consistent.

11 HARD TRUTHS ABOUT WORKING IN GROWTH

Growth work is relentless as targets constantly shift, loops collapse, and organizational silos block progress. Sustainable growth comes from strong products and retention. 80% of value in top companies comes from existing customers, while the median product loses 96% of new users by month 3. Growth teams face high turnover since only 10% of experiments last a year, and attribution data is often misleading because human behavior cannot be reduced to a single metric. At scale, growth becomes more about optimization than invention, while in younger companies, it's more experimental.
