Time flies! As we look back on 2022 here on Consumer Corner, we’re excited to have shared and documented insights from consumer and online media research, lessons from consumers in the (unrelenting, still, seriously?) pandemic-era meets post-pandemic era, decidedly non-traditional takes on management and decision-making, market insights, and our commentary on data, data use, and data analytics. We also delved into multiple video series on carbon markets and difficult conservations in food and agriculture.

In May of 2022, we decided articles were simply too long and less palatable than letters, so we adapted by discontinuing them and switching to consistent weekly letters! In total, we close the year with 48 letters and 5 articles. Below, we’ve pulled them together in one easy-to-access, thematically organized spot so you can catch up on what you might have missed. Enjoy!
