More to my thesis that all future retail will have more hospitality Retail stores will have pop up, cafes, restaurants or at least grab and go f&b CPG Markets need, cafes, wine bars, restaurants , and a lot of take out and ready to eat, while also becoming ghost kitchens

That’s a proxy grilled cheese but does look great.
While the pizza category has seen its challenges, it's still a big market. What state, you might ask, has the largest number of pizza chain restaurants? If you said Texas, you'd be right, followed by California and Florida (perhaps not surprising, given the size of the states)
@JonnyNemo Be great to cover this for instagram.com/laeats we are big fans

There's no argument that Cosm is next. But the costs to make it work could kill them. And here's the big one: They have to reduce lag time. Too many people are big fans or bettors to have action be two minutes behind no matter what the quality is.
💰 Sony Pictures Entertainment is making a $100M investment in @experiencecosm and taking a minority stake in the immersive venue operator, which screens live sports in LED-dome theaters.
be @whalar > Noticed creators were building the kind of audience trust brands could no longer buy with ads. > Saw attention moving from media institutions to individual people with loyal followings. > Built Whalar to connect global brands with creators audiences were already watching every day. > As creators became distribution channels, brand budgets started moving into creator partnerships. > Turned one-off influencer posts into a repeatable campaign system for major advertisers. > Got companies like Nike, Amazon, Google, Spotify, and Disney to become customers. > Expanded across 40+ countries as creator marketing became a real category. > Had investors back them at a $400M valuation. > Went on to power hundreds of millions of dollars in creator campaigns. > Acquired by Accenture in what many are calling the largest creator-economy exit to date.
Another in the series of interesting recent entertainment deals Emmanuel's Mari Group is assembling an interesting and diverse portfolio of businesses: sports events, festivals, art shows, collectibles/auctions, and now theaters At what point is that portfolio too diversified?
Big scoop for booming theatreland in London and NYC: US media mogul Ari Emanuel in talks to buy ATG Entertainment - which owns venues including the Lyceum - for £4.5bn. W/ the FT's amazing M&A meastros @AArmstrong_says @JFK_America @IvanLevingston ft.com/content/6bedcf…
Anyone dismissing the creativity on display at Cannes Lions clearly didn’t see the Pillsbury Doughboy drone light show…

Watch rooms are a whole new category between restaurants/bars and theaters/ life events It’s making steaming an analog and in person experience

Former Disney CEO Bob Iger opened up on a handful of deals that never were. "We had some conversations with Apple...I believe that if Steve were still alive, we would have combined our companies, or at least discussed the possibility very seriously." Read more: bit.ly/44q6leD

Red Bull at McDonald's with cold foam, boba, and fruit?! McDonald's and Red Bull are working on a HUGE menu of new drink creations that we might start seeing nationwide as early as this fall! Recently McDonald's announced that Red Bull drinks will be in the next wave of new McCafe drinks this fall and are currently testing SIX new flavors along with four creations that were unveiled at their worldwide conference a few weeks ago. Check out these new drinks that include popping boba, COLD FOAM, and even mixed fruit. The Cherry Rush, Green Apple, Popping Paradise, and Tropical Cloud drinks have just begun testing while the Dragonberry and Peach Boost energizers have been tested for months. Then the new Blue Ocean, Popping Citrus, Strawberry Shortcake, and Triple Berry were sampled at the recent conference. Which of these Red Bull drinks would you try at McDonald's? #redbull #mcdonalds #fastfood #energydrinks #energydrink #fastfood
It's official: @Walmart to acquire @vibedotco ! What the Vibe team has built since our inception is phenomenal. Not just an ad platform but a full infrastructure that unlocked real performance on CTV. Joining forces with Walmart, the largest US retailer and second largest US ecommerce retailer as well as Vizio’s ecosystem, will open up endless opportunities for the people we fight for every day: publishers and advertisers. We unlocked Performance TV. Now it's time to make it as big as Search & Social. And we couldn't have dreamed of a better home than Walmart to do so. But if anyone is to be celebrated in this deal, it's our team. Absolute legends. Insane concentration of talent. To be clear though, this is not the finish line for us. It's a massive accelerator for our mission to transform TV advertising forever. We can't wait to join forces with the Walmart and Walmart Connect teams, along with John Furner, Seth Dallaire, Ryan Mayward and so many more brilliant minds. It’s Day 1, 10am. Back to work! - Arthur, a proud future Walmart associate
