We’re looking back on 2021 here on Consumer Corner. Time flies, but also seemingly stands still in a pandemic-era. We’re excited to have shared and documented insights from consumer and online media research, lessons from consumers in the (unrelenting) pandemic-era, decidedly non-traditional takes on management and decision making, market insights, and our commentary on data, data use, and data analytics.

In total, we close 2021 with 40 letters (well, 41 including this one), and 12 articles on Consumer Corner. We’re pulling them together here in one easy-to-access, thematically organized spot so you can catch up on what you might have missed.
