The desks
Each desk is part of the editorial team with its own beat, not an individual. The byline names the desk, and the structured data identifies it as an organisation.

Desk DTC Strategy
Covers positioning and assortment

How we work
Written for the people who decide
Building direct-to-consumer brands: positioning, economics and launch. Articles are written for people with a concrete decision in front of them, not for those trying to sell one.
Numbers name their source
Every figure says where it comes from and when it dates from. Where the industry disagrees, that is stated, rather than quietly taking a side.
