Low Anthropology with David Zahl, a Joint Podcast with GFG and BW In this episode, Grace for the Grind and Beautifully Woven team up to interview David Zahl.  David Zahl is the author of the book “Low Anthropology.”  He is passionate about communicating deep theological truths in a way we can all understand.  In this podcast, David shares why he wrote the book. We talk about what anthropology is and how our understanding of that frames the way we see the world and people. We talk about why a high anthropology divides but a low anthropology unites and how this helps us love our neighbor.  “Low Anthropology” is the book WMCLB is using for our cohorts this fall. It was also one of the books that was given as a resource to all of our leaders at the Elevate youth convention.  https://mbird.com https://mbird.com/shop/books/low-anthropology/  (Link to the book, you can also find it on Amazon.)  https://clbforge.org/all-podcasts/ wmclb.org

On est un an après le début du mandat présidentiel de Nicolas Sarkozy, qui a intenté un procès contre le groupe dont nous allons parler aujourd'hui d'un des membres. Sa mixtape, dont le nom fait référence aux points cardinaux, est le seul long format solo d'Ekoué, qui suit la ligne éditoriale et artistique de rappeler sans cesse aux institutions gouvernementales et aux rap français qu'il est leur némésis. Nous allons donc parler de "Nord Sud Est Ouest : Episode 1" d'Ekoue de la Rumeur, sorti en 2008, et réalise par PAT.

Some people seem to have all their stuff together, managing their professional and personal lives. So how do they do it?This episode peels back the curtain on that very illusion with the help of Michelle Taylor, advisor at GFG and a bastion of practical wisdom. Through the discussion, Michelle demystifies the balancing act between a high-powered career and a fulfilling family life, offering an honest look at the daily negotiations and compromises it entails. With her partner's preference for old-school communication and their unique approach to shared responsibilities, Michelle's story is a testament to the fact that there's no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to family dynamics and career success.As we transition into the intricacies of parenting, you'll find yourself nodding along to our exploration of childcare responsibilities, a very hot topic for any working parent. By sharing our own experiences and the clever, sometimes unspoken, understandings that we and our partners come to in managing these duties, we aim to provide both solace and strategy to listeners navigating the same challenges.Connect with Michelle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-taylor-9b396139/Connect with Bernadette: https://www.instagram.com/the.band.tee.ceo/Connect with Claudio: https://www.instagram.com/claudgambin/Invest The Difference is sponsored by GFG Solutions: https://gfgsolutions.com/GFG Solutions is dedicated to providing peace of mind, clarity, and happiness to business owners and managers.

Liberty Steel qui regroupe les activités acier du magnat britannique Sanjeev Gupta annonce sa restructuration. Une usine du groupe et d'autres infrastructures vont être mises en vente au Royaume-Uni. C'était l'issue redoutée après les difficultés rencontrées depuis la faillite de la société financière Greensill, celle qui le finançait et par qui le scandale est arrivé. Greensill, société financière britannique dont le conglomérat familial GFG dirigé par Sanjeev Gupta était l'un des principaux clients, a été mise en faillite en mars, entraînant GFG dans sa chute. Désormais, GFG est dans le collimateur lui aussi du Serious Fraud Office, l'équivalent britannique du parquet financier pour des soupçons de fraude et de blanchiment d'argent, en particulier en relation avec Greensill. On en voit aujourd’hui les principaux effets. Depuis, impossible pour Sanjeev Gupta de trouver des créanciers Un crédit de 200 millions de livres par la société White Oak Global Advisors, celle-là même qui l'avait aidé à renflouer ses opérations en Australie il y a peu, lui a été refusé. « En tant qu'organisme régulé, nous ne pouvons poursuivre les discussions avec une société qui fait l'objet d'une enquête ». Voilà ce qu'elle a répondu il y a quelques jours à Sanjeev Gupta. Depuis, pour le conglomérat, c'est le défilé des créanciers. Le groupe Tata Steel réclame des arriérés de paiements de 100 millions de livres datant de 2017. Citigroup au nom de Crédit Suisse a saisi la justice londonienne pour récupérer l'argent de ses clients qui ont investi dans des titres de dettes émis par Greensill, le financeur en faillite. Il n'y a donc plus d'argent frais pour faire tourner des usines qui ont pourtant tout pour être profitables en ce moment avec des prix de l'acier et de l'aluminium au sommet. D'où la revente des usines et des infrastructures au Royaume-Uni Début mai, Sanjeev Gupta  a désigné une équipe pour restructurer son groupe. C'est à la même table que s'est assise la société de gestion de Crédit suisse le week-end dernier pour sceller le sort de l'usine de Stockbridge. Ses principaux clients sont dans le secteur aérospatial. « Des actifs uniques et de grande qualité » mais pas « stratégiques » a dit le groupe dans un communiqué. Deux autres usines du nord de l'Angleterre ont vu leur vente actée. Crédit Suisse, qui cherche à récupérer 10 milliards de dollars perdus, pourra se rembourser avec les ventes futures de deux autres usines anglaises et grâce à un accord de refinancement via un site en Australie. À vitesse grand V, Liberty Steel redéfinit aussi des priorités de développement. Il va notamment augmenter les capacités de l'usine de Roterham de recyclage d'acier, afin d’en faire une des premières de son genre en Europe. De son côté, le gouvernement britannique se dit attentif au sort des employés du groupe de Sanjeev Gupta Ils sont 5000 au Royaume-Uni. Le gouvernement dit « explorer toutes les options » afin de préserver leur emploi mais il est gêné aux entournures car il refuse de voler au secours du conglomérat lui-même dont le scandale a révélé un peu plus l'opacité des ramifications financières. Un vaste débat est lancé au Royaume-Uni sur l'absence de contrôles financiers qui aurait favorisé la fuite en avant de Liberty Steel. Le « sauveur de l'acier britannique » comme on le surnomme là-bas a repris des sites à tour de bras ces dernières années. Et désormais, il crie famine. Une demande de sauvetage de 170 millions de livres a été sèchement refusée en mars dernier, l’exécutif craignant que l'argent n'aille alimenter une lointaine filiale du groupe. Mais tout de même, le gouvernement se tient prêt au cas où Liberty Steel devrait subir le même sort que British Steel, groupe qui s'est effondré en 2019. De l'autre côté de la Manche, en France notamment, les conséquences redoutées du choc sont déjà là Dès le mois de mars, on a senti le vent du boulet. Faute de cash, trois fonderies de la branche aluminium en cessation de paiement avaient été mises à l'arrêt avec leurs 850 salariés, puis en redressement judiciaire. Liberty Steel France cherche un repreneur pour l'usine d'Ascoval dans le Nord et Liberty Rail en Moselle faute d'argent frais également. Moins d'un an après la reprise du site, on se prépare à nouveau à la valse des repreneurs.

This newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.- RSJWe have been trying to make sense of the three key trends dominating the global financial markets over the past 12 months - the excess liquidity in the system driven by loose monetary policies and stimulus announced by central banks the world over, the persistence of the central banks to keep interest rates at historic lows without worrying about potential inflation, and the booming equity markets that seem to be completely divorced from the ground economic realities during the pandemic. You can read some of our previous posts on these here and here.How long can these trends sustain? Who knows? The perpetual optimism on which the wheels of finance move shows no signs of abating. Now, history has shown these are trends that are neither sustainable nor safe for ordinary investors. But optimism is the opium of the masses. “This time it is different” is what you usually hear as a record new stimulus is passed or markets touch new highs. But like Scott Sagan wrote in his book, The Limits of Safety: “Things that have never happened before happen all the time.” Three Strikes And…The world is full of surprises and three events in the past quarter should give regulators and investors a pause. First, Melvin Capital lost half of its $13bn fund during the GameStop saga in January this year. Melvin had taken massive leveraged short positions against the GameStop stock convinced its business model has no future. Well, the Redditors on WallStreetBets organised themselves to do the world’s first RNS (radically networked society) driven short squeeze. Melvin couldn’t reverse out of the trade soon enough. Only an emergency line of $2.75bn from other hedge funds kept it afloat. We have covered the GameStop shenanigans here.Second, the collapse of Greensill Capital, a ‘supply chain finance’ company doing Enron-like things in a decidedly dull corner of finance. The full impact of its fallout is yet to be ascertained. The collateral damage so far has been impressive: London-based steelmaker GFG alliance (run by India-born Sanjeev Gupta) is facing an existential crisis; a German retail bank that Greensill had bought has gone down; Credit Suisse that funded Greensill through securitisation of its invoice finance arrangement had to write down huge losses; Bluestone Resources, a US-based coal mining company that’s left high and dry without Greensill’s funding pipeline; and Tokio Marine Insurance that underwrote the risks Greensill’s clients and investors in Credit Suisse funds were taking is still counting its losses. The Greensill story is a good example of how it is not different this time. Supply chain financing has been around for a long time. Company A buys goods from a smaller Supplier B and promises to pay it (say) in 90 days. Ideally, B would like to be paid immediately but it usually lacks the bargaining power. Company A would prefer to pay as late as possible since it improves its cash flow and use it to further its business. Enter C, the Supply Chain Financier. C promises to pay B faster but at a small discount as the cost of getting its money quickly. It then collects the full amount from A. In a way, C pays on behalf of A and then collects the money from A over a period of time. It is like a traditional short-term loan that’s backed by the security of the invoice. And how does C get the money to pay to the suppliers faster? Usually, C would issue commercial papers (unsecured promissory notes) to obtain funds from market participants looking to park their excess funds for a short-term to back their invoice arrangements. The spread it makes between the two is C’s business.But in a world where the liquidity is high, interest rates low and stock markets at their peaks, there’s always money looking for avenues to make some ‘extra’ return. Greensill had a perfect plan for them. Instead of issuing commercial papers, it securitised the supplier invoices into short-term assets and offered them to the likes of Credit Suisse and other asset management firms. In other words, these invoices were turned into a different financial instrument which could now be positioned differently to investors. With this, the stage was set to get into riskier bets and shuffle the risk around in a way that made investors believe they were still investing in a safe supply chain financing instrument than something more complex. These investment firms launched Greensill-linked funds and raised money from investors who were drawn to the promise of almost risk-free returns that were higher than money market funds. Greensill also got insurance companies to back the risks underlying these funds to make them appear safer and more attractive. This was mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that brought down Lehman Brothers in 2008 all over again. Not content with this, Greensill went a step further. It started advancing funds to its clients based on anticipated future invoices. That is, there was no supplier and no goods purchased. But it was giving money in anticipation of business being done with a supplier in future. In effect, it started offering long-term loans to its clients in the guise of short-term, low-risk loans with neither the insurer nor the funds like Credit Suisse being wiser to their tricks. It was only a matter of time before the house of cards would collapse. Third, the implosion of hedge fund Archegos Capital late last week caused by extreme leverage. With GameStop and Melvin Capital, the leverage was on the short. With Archegos, it was on the long side. It borrowed money from the usual Wall Street names - Nomura, Credit Suisse (again!), Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. But it used a derivative known as Total Return Swaps (TRS). The mechanics of this were simple. The hedge fund borrows money from the Bank to invest in stocks through a swap agreement. The hedge fund pays a small interest to the Bank, say, 2.5 per cent. The bank pays out any upside of investment made by the fund back to it. If there are losses, the hedge fund makes it up for the bank. This means the hedge fund makes investments without owning the asset. The bank has no real downside. The bank loves TRS because they make large fees from such arrangement without setting aside a lot of capital when compared to actual trading in securities. Being flush with liquidity in a low-interest environment makes such arrangements appear too good to resist for the banks. Things were going well for Archegos as it went about building massive levered long positions in media stocks like ViacomCBS and Discovery and various Chinese internet stocks. Some of these were quite illiquid stocks where Archegos almost owned half of the total stocks available for trade. Till ViacomCBS, whose stock had gone up 3X over the past year, decided to do a $3bn share sale wanting to capitalise on its good fortune. This backfired and the stock nosedived. This triggered a margin call and we were back to 2008 again. Archegos couldn’t cough up funds to cover the losses and the brokers dumped the shares on their behalf. The forced liquidation led to a massive selloff late last week across markets. Nomura and Credit Suisse couldn’t get out fast enough and warned of significant impact to their earnings. The worries of a contagion started going around. No one is sure if the collateral damage has been contained.Safety Valves Or Canaries?One way to look at these three events is to consider them as the safety valves of capitalism. There are excesses that happen in each cycle and the market mechanism is subverted by a few players. But there is a reckoning soon enough and the markets are better off for it.The other way is to view them as early signs of a looming crisis - the canaries in a coal mine. It is often said bubbles aren’t merely about skyrocketing valuations. The underlying truth to any bubble is the shortening of time horizons in the market. Everyone is out there to get rich and get out as quickly as possible. This snowballs very quickly attracting more short-term traders to make massive bets with levered money with ever-shrinking time horizons. The markets might well take these events into their stride (as they seem to have done). The three firms collapse and everyone moves on. That’s the end of it.Or maybe not. This might just be a beginning.

This is a special edition focussing on the challenges that GFG Alliance is currently facing. In an in-depth conversation, Sanjeev talks about what the situation means for colleagues across the business, the failure of Greensill Capital, government involvement, media speculation and what next for GFG. 21 mins

The Collapse of Greensill CapitalSoftBank-backed Greensill (a fintech company) lent billions of dollars to companies that included the highly indebted metals conglomerate GFG Alliance, silicon valley Construction Technology company Katerra and West Virginia mining company Bluestone Resources. These loans were packaged into bonds which were sold as a fund by Credit Suisse.Greensill was funded by its own German-based and regulated bank and via Zurich-based Credit Suisse Asset Management. Its main shadow banking operations were in London. German regulators BaFin last month seized control of the bank and filed a criminal complaint alleging balance sheet manipulation. Swiss and Australian officials are asking questions of Credit Suisse. Meanwhile, in the UK, where it has been celebrated as a leading “fintech” and counted former prime minister David Cameron as an adviser, there is little sign of regulatory action. In the lead up to this crisis Lex Greensill and his family took $200 million out of the company.No one knows the precise amount of bad loans involved: Credit Suisse is budgeting for at least $1bn to $2bn; insurance policies covered at least $4.6bn; in July last year insurer Tokio Marine said an underwriter had breached exposure limits by writing coverage for more than $7bn. And no one is sure who will bear the losses. GFG has already defaulted on loans to Greensill. Some of those loans exist within Credit Suisse funds. Those funds have insurance written by the likes of Insurance Australia Group and Tokio Marine. IAG says it has no “net insurance exposure” to Greensill because of “extensive reinsurance” and “agreements with Tokio Marine for it to hold any remaining exposure”. Tokio Marine, in turn, says it also has reinsurance, it may turn to litigation and, anyway, the insurance may not have been valid in the first place. This looming fight between loan originators, securitisers, funds, banks, insurers and investors looks very like the fallout from the 2008 crisis. The lawsuits that followed took up to a decade to resolve and cost tens of billions of dollars. For now, there is little general market turmoil. But it could still get messier.

The owner of the Whyalla steelworks in South Australia, the British billionaire industrialist Sanjeev Gupta, has come under the spotlight with a tricky financial situation he is caught up in. Namely the unravelling of Greensill Capital, Gupta's main financial lender. Assurances have been given that it's business a usual in the steelworks but it could also offer an opportunity. With progress being made with green steel in Sweden and Germany, Whyalla could be in the right position to take advantage of the situation it's in.

Systemisches Konsensieren mit den GFGästen Adela H. Mahling und Tom Müller Kennst Du das? Du bist ein Teil einer Gruppe und wenn es um Entscheidungen geht, dann setzt sich z.B. derjenige durch, der sich sprachlich gewählter ausdrücken kann oder einfach nur am längeren Hebel sitzt? Dies kann für den Rest der Gruppe sehr frustrierend sein. Wenn Deine Gruppe offen für andere Verfahren ist und Du auf der Suche nach einer Idee bist, wie es anders und mit: weniger Druck,weniger Verlust,weniger Frust,weniger Konfliktpotential,weniger Stress gehen kann, es dem Gruppenzusammenhalt förderlich ist und effizient ist, sodass die vorhandene Energie optimal in die Sache investiert wird, dann ist Systemisches Konsensieren womöglich genau das Richtige für Dich!  Das Systemische Konsensieren (SK) ist ein Entscheidungsverfahren, dass die Interessen jedes Mitglieds einer Gruppe berücksichtigt und wo jede Idee zur Lösungsfindung Gehör findet und in die Wagschale geworfen wird. Die Entscheidung, die dann gefunden wird, basiert auf einer hohen Akzeptanz und Tragfähigkeit der Gruppe, weil sie sie selbst entwickelt hat und somit auch bereit ist sie mitzutragen. Das SK ist vor allem für Gruppen geeignet wo mehr als zwei Personen involviert sind und mehrere Optionen zur Wahl stehen. Denkbar sind u.a.:   Teams FamilienArbeitskreiseCo-Housing-ProjekteLebensgemeinschaftenSchulenKindergärtenPolitiketc.  Vorteile des SK die Gruppe entwickelt die Lösungswege selbstdie Interessen des Einzelnen werden berücksichtigtjedes Mitglied der Gruppe hat gleich viel Einfluss auf die Entscheidungmacht Vergleiche überflüssig, weil alle Ideen zugelassen werden und jede Option für sich bewertet wirdlässt Diversität in der Lösungsfindung zues kann mit Meinungsvielfalt umgehenKreativität findet ihren Raum offene Kultur für Andersartigkeitgrößtmögliche Potential/Intelligenz der Gruppe wird genutztalle Formen des Widerstandes werden ernst genommen lässt schneller ins Tun kommenWiderstände des Einzelnen, die ihn von einem "ja" abhalten, werden gehört und nach Alternativen gesucht, die seine Interessen und Bedürfnisse mehr berücksichtigenes braucht keine langen Schulungen im Vorfeld, um seine Wirkung zu entfalten Wo die Verknüpfung des SK zur GFK ist, welche Haltung dahinter steht und wie es genau funktioniert - inklusive Livebeispiel - hörst Du in dieser Episode.

The Company controls 100% of the Rattlesnake Hills Gold Project, a district scale gold exploration project located approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Casper, Wyoming, U.S. The geologic setting, alteration and mineralization seen in the Rattlesnake Hills are similar to other gold deposits of the Rocky Mountain alkaline province which, collectively, have produced over 50 million ounces of gold. The Company also controls 100% of two large and highly prospective gold properties west of the prolific gold district of Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The Ontario properties are comprised of the 44,500-hectare Pen Gold Project (including the West Porcupine property) and the 12,000-hectare Dore Gold Project.

It's the final day of Game of the Year and the GFG crew are here to tell you what they think the best games of 2017 were.

The Governance for Growth (GfG) program in Vanuatu has been running for ten years, and is about to move into its third phase. Considered to be quite innovative when it was first implemented, the program has supported some significant economic policy and public finance reforms. It has also survived changes to the institutional arrangements for the delivery of Australian aid, and significant shifts in the political landscape in Vanuatu. The program was recently the subject of two in-depth reviews, one led by the Overseas Development Institute, and the other by a team of Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) economists. These reviews provide an opportunity to consider the successes and failures of GfG, what elements of the model were most useful in supporting success, and whether the lessons of the last ten years have implications for other small island developing states. This podcast features a recording of a panel discussion covering these issues. The panel featured the following participants: Pablo Kang, Assistant Secretary, Melanesia Branch, DFAT, and former Head of Mission in Vanuatu Matthew Harding, Director, Pacific Economic Growth Section, DFAT, and Manager of GfG during the evaluations Jonathan Gouy, Director, Development Economics Unit, DFAT and leader of the economic review (via a presentation given by Bob Warner) Clinton Pobke, Manager and Jennifer Kalpokas Doan, Senior Program Manager, GfG Bob Warner, Visiting Fellow, Development Policy Centre, and member of the GfG review team This event is presented by the Development Policy Centre, a consortium partner of the Pacific Research Program (PRP). PRP is supported by the Australian aid program.

This episode of What Would We Do, delves into Fashion retailers in Australia and the USA. It reverse engineers what these Fashion brands are doing and references several new ideas that all Fashion retailers, high street and online, should consider and can use to boost sales. David Twigg and Chris Bugden deliver an insightful discussion that will inspire you and arm you with new ideas. For more information or to contact David or Chris please go to http://whatwouldwedo.com.au JINGLE: Broadcasting from sunny Brisbane,Queensland, Australia. You are listening to Chris Bugden and David Twigg and the What Would We Do Podcast. Chris: Hi guys Chris Bugden here. Myself and David Twigg here and our mission is to help inspire ideas for your company. Each episode we will be delving into one specific marketplace and reverse engineering what some big players are doing as well as imparting our knowledge wisdom from the campaigns we've been involved in and books and podcasts we've read. David: Yes between us we've been working in sales and marketing for many years and we both love discussing business so we aim to inspire you. Today we are going to delve into What we would do if we were starting a fashion brand. What things we would consider adopting from established brands and what could we do better. chris: Yes retailing is at the heart of any economy, we all need to buy things and we all need to buy clothes though the importance of fashion seems to be growing exponentially even amongst generations that historically haven't hadn't bothered. David: Yep my 7 year old son is a lot more concious of what he wears than i ever was and his 5 year old brother is now in tune to what he likes and doesn't like. At the same token the generation of my parents are frequently dressing sharply, so brands like Ralph Lauren now have the 70+ generation as one of their marketing avatars. Chris: So David you've been digging into the online presence of 3 modern fashion brands, what sort of things did you find out? David: Yes Chris so i used some of our tools we use to reverse engineer client accounts as well as the competition of clients. I focused on 3 brands. The Iconic has really become one of the big success stories of Australian fashion in the last few years but has focused purely online. Lorna jane and Lululemon are fighting in a very similar space to each other and so i thought a comparison of how they are doing it would make a good case study. All 3 companies Lorna Jane and The iconic were featured in Smart Company's top 20 retailers of 2015. This is what they said about Lorna Jane: Now in its 25th year, active wear retail brand Lorna Jane continues to enjoy rapid growth, especially when it comes to online sales. Online sales for Lorna Jane grew by more than 30% in the past 12 months and now accounts for 14% of the company’s total turnover. The retailer has also amassed a big social media following, with more than one million fans on Facebook alone. Lorna Jane is on track to hit $200 million in revenue this year, which is no doubt also fuelled by the addition of 40 new international bricks-and-mortar outlets to its network in the past 12 months. A partnership with US fashion chain Nordstrom, announced this month, will extend the reach of this homegrown brand even further. This what they said about the iconic: One of the newer players on the Australian retail scene, fashion marketplace The Iconic continues to punch above its weight. Founded in 2011, The Iconic has previously secured multi-million dollar funding rounds, including a $28 million boost in mid-July 2013, and more recently has focused on adding top international brands to its stable of Australian designers, including UK high street label Brand New. The Iconic has amassed an impressive 500,000 Facebook fans and more than 80,000 followers on Instagram. In 2013, the retailer turned over $31 million. What Smart Company didn't mention is that the iconic is part of huge online fashion retail group called GFG which combined lost $235 million last year though sales are growing rapidly and losses shrinking. So let's get into what i found about The Iconic. The iconic 1.2 million visits per month Time on Site Page views 10.59 bounce rate 26.49% 49.45% traffic from search 89% organic-11% paid 3.29% traffic from social (81.7% FB,7.4% YouTube) 14.76% traffic from referrals(311 referring sites) Their Fb has very low engagement 588k likes typical post gets 3-50 likes Content marketing - Limited.....no story focus.....only promotional.

Quick and personal support from THE ICONIC Affiliate Team. Lorna jane vs lululemon Lorna Jane 150,000 visits per month 05.02 mins time on site 5.24 page views bounce rate 34.51% search 41.41%(93% organic 7% paid) social 2.25% direct 37.64% referrals 17.62% (from 101 sites) FB engagement 1.2 million likes 20-200 likes per post...ok but should be more One area of controversy is how Lorna Jane are managing their Facebook presence. They seem to have an overall brand page and a page for every store as well. I think that particular conundrum is a tricky one because often resources don't allow running hundreds of pages effectively and in fact largely they just upload one post to all the store pages. If each store were to run independant promotions or have unique lines i can see why they would run independant pages. Also particularly if they were to run local competitions or feature local content then that would definitely be a strong strategy however they aren't from what i can see they are spreading themselves very thin, detracting from the main brand page and not capitalising on the Facebook infastructure they have developed. Now onto their content marketing and this is definitely one of their secret weapons. They run a blog on a separate domain called MoveNourishBelieve.com there is a Stunning Branded video ad as a popup optin when you land on the site it really captures the essence and brand values of Lorna Jane and no doubt inspires their target market. I haven't seen that done as well as that before but i suspect it's a very effective way of developing their email database to compliment that effort through their online store and physical stores. MoveNourishBelieve.com publishes stories, linking to lorna jane shop with simple product images and prices It gets 50k visits per month av page time 02.28 avg pages 2.42 Bounce rate 66.16% ONLY 48% Of Audience in Australia(eg 22% in USA) Top posts: Build A Booty with Base Body Babes - Move Nourish Believe : 198k shares 7 days of no-fuss dinners, download your menu now - Move Nourish Believe : 10.6k shares Why colouring in could curb your stress - Move Nourish Believe : 4.9k #IAMWOMAN - ERIN MCNAUGHT - Move Nourish Believe : 4.5k I really think lorna jane is ahead of the game here in developing an independant online property that cross promotes their products. My only concern is that editorially they aren't quite hitting the nail on the head. That said the ultimate purpose of the site is to send users to another site, ie the lorna jane store, so a bounce rate of 66% is probably what they ideally want. affilate marketing - mediocre The Lorna Jane Pty Ltd affiliate program offers industry-leading technology, expert craftsmanship, and hi-tech performance fabrics to activewear for women. The brand represents a global movement of women living their best, most beautiful lives through active living. Lululemon 60,000 visits per month 04.47 time on site 7.14 page views bounce rate 23.65% search 48.26% social 2.2%(FB 53%,Pinterest 14%, Youtube 14%, Twitter 12%) direct 27.22% referrals 19.91% (from 33 sites mostly own sites overseas) FB engagement 1.3 million likes, 10-300 likes per post = higher than lorna jane(? because they don't have FB pages for each store rather one brand page and then city focused pages Content marketing (blog subdomain) beginner one-week meditation challenge: podcast #3 ; 2.2k shares exercise anywhere : 1.8k beginner one-week meditation challenge: podcast #1 : 970 shares running meditation : 746 shares yoga for sports : 743 shares Affiliate marketing - no obvious plan So that's what i found out about 3 high profile fashion retailers. So, Chris if we were setting up a fashion brand from an online angle there would be a few learnings i would be considering: 1. Content marketing : learn from lorna Jane, crafting stories and embeding promotion but using social media to develop virality. I really don't think they are using Facebook that well to both cross promote their MoveNourishbelieve.com content or their status update content which should be less promotional anyway.They seem to be way more active on Instragram interestingly, with 645,000 followers and average posts geting 4000-8000 likes. Clearly engagement is easier for them through Instagram so i can see why they would use it more but connecting Instagram to other online property is a lot harder than on Facebook in other words converting instagram traffic. 2. Develop an affiliate program and make an effort to engage bloggers to promote your products. The Iconic have a very good affilaite program and i imagine are developing lots of referral channels simply by focusing on providing value to affiliates. 3. Don't use Facebook just to promote products. Read Gary vaynerchuck's book, Jab, Jab, Right Hook and understand that promotion is far more powerful when woven in amongst a story. i think all 3 brands are partially guilty here. Stories that the target market relate to are where the viral wins occur. So keep jabbing with non to light promotion and then insert a right hook with a promo, is for me the key strategy. 4. Regarding your website focus clearly on the navigation, consider the way Coles and Woolworths have planned their grocery aisles in a specific way to encourage shoppers to maximise spend. Think of the store as a maze and this is the pathway an ideal prospect would take, how can we make that easier by reducing any friction incurred on that journey. 5. An abandon cart strategy is an absolute no brainer. Every single day users in the droves get buyers remorse after filling out an order form but just choke or get distracted at the buy now button. They need to be reminded and have their hand held back to the checkout as they have demonstrated they want to buy. So that's my take on the online fashion world, Chris. I have been of the believe for many years that Westfield and all the major shopping mall owners are on a slippery slope to the bottom. Yet in the states the physical store showroom model is starting to get plenty of traction, which i find fascinating. I think you've delved into a brand called the Bonobos Guideshop.

This Sunday, Very Special Guest DJ Jung. With well over a decade of experience behind the decks in such locales as Chicago, Miami, Nashville, Detroit, Portland, Lexington, and St. Louis just to name a few. DJ Jung began his love affair with the beat at a very young age “I always find that when I’m playing for a crowd, whether it’s 10, 100, or 1000, I always spot the one in the crowd that needs me the most, I can just tell they need the boost. I’ll focus my energy to lift them, make them forget their worries and just dance. Nothing is more gratifying for me as a DJ than being able to make that connection, even if it’s just one. The energy exchange between DJ and dance floor is unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. For me true happiness is moving a crowd that wants to be moved, a crowd that wants a true experience.”
