Every year, working with our Rogerwilco, Digital Marketing Agency team on the Township CX Report reveals new insights about the township shopper and business ecosystem. And this year is no different, as we prepare for our virtual launch tomorrow, you can still register to join us. Having grown up seeing hoods evolve, this report is close to my heart. It's that fine balance of work and impact. Work that I hope makes a positive impact where it really matters. Especially with the difficulties that township communities, and the small businesses in them, face. After all, work is love made visible, and the hope is that brands use the findings to show more love to township communities.
