  SHEEP INC. The Pulseof the Fashion Industry report published by the Global Fashion Agenda highlights wool as one of the “materials with the overall highest environmental impact” with ethical concerns about animal welfare also listed as a concern in its use. This October, UK-based clothing brand Sheep Inc. announced it was planning to become carbon negative by investing 5% of revenues into several biodiversity projects to offset the carbon impact of its sweater production... tenfold! Its sole item, a unisex Merino wool sweater, retails online in three sizes and five colors for GBP 190 (INR 17,000). Customers who buy a sweater also get to adopt one of the sheep living at the farm the wool comes from. Updates on the sheep's daily life (such as its health, when it is sheared or gives birth) are shared regularly with the purchaser. While you don’t have to always give customers a sheep to be sustainable, there are plenty of other ways brands are getting on this journey. A few weeks ago Gucci went carbon neutral.

  Another similar ideabut works on a real-time concept is "The Night Feed". This is a new social platform for new moms who are up late in the night or in the early hours of the morning breastfeeding. It actually makes a very solitary and exhausting activity into a connection point where one can find solace with other mothers who are up at the same time doing the very same thing. The app is also peppered with content as well as talks from pediatricians, Q&As with midwives and stylists' guides to the best breastfeeding-friendly clothes on the market. Think about creating pop-up communities based on a shared interest or activity which no one has tapped before and is very close to your consumers. THE NIGHT FEED

  A great exampleof how a brand can take a boring uninspiring activity like recruitment and make it a platform of social connect to attract young talent. The Finnish capital Helsinki launched a lighthearted campaign called City as a Service in an attempt to attract new tech talent. A platform and video pitches the CaaS to viewers, explaining that Helsinki has ‘over 640,000 daily active users’ and boasts an ‘API’ that supports excellent healthcare and public transport. Meanwhile, the city’s Mayor – billed as the CEO – explains that the winter darkness and flat skyline are not technical bugs but ‘carefully considered features’. Visitors to the platform are encouraged to apply for a ‘free demo trip’; 15 people were chosen for a free trip to Helsinki in November. Watch the video here: https://vimeo.com/358994313 HELSINKI

Inside each pack is a blockchain token; consumers can scan the token to donate it back to the farmers. Each token is worth the equivalent of one-quarter of a cocoa-producing tree.

  Shachihata, a Japanesestamp company, launched an anti- groping stamp. The product was developed in response to viral discussion on social media about how to discourage groping – known as ‘chikan’ – on crowded trains. The device allows victims to shame their assailants by marking them with invisible ink, which can be revealed with a portable blacklight. A limited run of 500 stamps, which retailed at USD 24 each, sold out in less than 30 minutes.

  BUTTER FOR GROWTH “Makhan orButter” is the term we use to describe interactions & experiences that are just so smooth. Rich, easy, delicious. Hard to define formally, but you know it when you see it / feel it. This is imperative to drive growth across both B2B and B2C categories, unfortunately, many companies fail to do so. In fact, 90% of companies try to win by making themselves cheaper than competition, 9% win by making themselves better. Only a few have done the "Butter for Growth" model very well.

Software like Rosetta Stone and Open English allowed users around the world to learn over 30 languages from their homes.

  Tik-Tok tests socialcommerce! In the video, we also see TikTok is permitting users to add a URL in their profile bio. Instagram has long allowed this functionality, which is used by a large number of accounts for a variety of reasons. While influencers usually direct their fans to merchandise stores, some news publishers use it to drive people to news articles, for instance. The current set of restrictions on Instagram, however, leaves a lot to be desired. If TikTok, which has amassed over a billion users, retains these features, it could disrupt what many industry figures call “social commerce.” Social media companies and messaging apps in recent years have lured customers through their core services and introduced shopping features.
