CMOs and their teams are uniquely well positioned to take a lead role in companies' efforts to attract and retain both customers and top talent. Dipanjan Chatterjee, Melissa Bongarzone, and Alex Schanne July 21, 2022 Reading Time: 6 min  Brands are now knee-deep in social and political issues that, until recently, they wouldn't have touched with a barge pole. Conventional wisdom has it that the increasing number of consumers motivated by social values is goading brands to support the greater social good. While there is some merit to that claim, there is arguably another equally powerful vector of change: the employee. For instance, after much waffling, Disney's position against the state of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law was spurred on by pressure from its ...

Thankfully, you can swap the theme from light to dark; it's called Dark Mode. And yes, you can get Dark Mode in Snapchat for both Android and iOS. Here's how you can enable Dark Mode for both versions. How to Get Dark Mode on Snapchat: Use Snap Dark Mode Now Enabling Dark Mode in Snapchat on Android Dark Mode on the Android version of Snapchat is supported natively, not as it is on iOS.

The Radisson Blu Anaheim is a new AAA Four Diamond hotel near Disneyland Resort. This review features room photos, thoughts on amenities, and pros & cons of booking at this hotel versus its competitors. Let's start the review with some basics. Typically, one of the most important considerations for our readers when evaluating hotels near Disneyland is location. The Radisson Blu Anaheim is a little over a mile from Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, which might make it a deal-breaker for those wanting something with proximity to the parks. More critically, the Radisson Blu Anaheim is a difficult walk to Disneyland and DCA because it's adjacent to the I-5 freeway. When heading to Disneyland, you have to cross the I-5 on and off ramps. There are pedestrian traffic signals here, but we've heard from readers in the past that this is a big downside when traveling with kids. With a wealth of other options in the area, we would not recommend the...

The great reset to serfdom starts with a monthly payment Image credit Imagine you buy a car. A posh car. A BMW. The kind of car you'll glory in driving for a decade or longer. You'd expect it to come with heated seats, right? There's nothing like toasty buns on a frosty morning. Now imagine one December morning you slip into your car and the heated seats suddenly don't work. Nothing's technically wrong with the heated seats, of course — you just failed to pay BMW the vampiric $18 monthly fee that they're now charging their customers for the pleasure. That's right: Over a ten-year period, BMW owners will have to fork out more than $2,000 just to turn on their own heated seats . I know what you're thinking —"boohoo Beemer owners, you can afford to get robbed by technology monopolizers." But subscription serfdom isn't just for luxury cars. It's a rapidly expanding business model that will leave us all in poverty and slavery. Rent-seeking D...

A full order of fish and chips from Yorkshire Fish & Chips. Photo: Alayna Alvarez/Axios Hey friends, Alayna here. I'm back with another story nobody asked for. 🙃 What's happening: I'm 99% sure I found the biggest fish sticks in metro Denver. They hail from a seafood shop on Pecos Street near U.S. 36 that my fiancé and I stumbled upon one recent Saturday afternoon. Details: Yorkshire Fish & Chips may not look like much from the street, but this no-frills family-owned restaurant has been serving authentic homemade English fare for more than 50 years. Yorkshire's fish sticks — beer-battered Icelandic cod — come fried to crispy golden perfection, served in a humble paper tray atop a bed of hot "chips." Though the fries are forgettable (and could really use some salt, as could the fish), they're redeemed by the heaps of ultra-crunchy deep-fried batter bits dumped beneath them. By the numbers: The cod is cut into roughly 9.5...
