With nearly two decades of experience in digital strategy and product management, Kate shares her insights on bridging internal silos, leveraging customer insights, and designing omnichannel experiences that truly resonate. From the early days of DTC growth to today’s complex, multi-touchpoint customer journeys, Kate explains why omnichannel is no longer optional—it’s essential. She highlights a standout example from Anthropologie, demonstrating how brands can create a unified customer experience across digital and physical spaces. Whether you’re a marketing leader, UX strategist, or product manager, this episode is packed with actionable advice on aligning teams, integrating user feedback, and building a future-proof omnichannel strategy. Key Takeaways: ✅ Omnichannel vs. Multichannel: Many brands think they’re omnichannel, but they’re really just multichannel. Kate breaks down the difference and how to shift toward true integration. ✅ Anthropologie’s Success Story: Learn how this brand seamlessly blended physical and digital experiences to create a memorable, data-driven customer journey. ✅ User Feedback is the Secret Weapon: Discover how continuous user testing—before, during, and after a launch—helps brands fine-tune their strategies and avoid costly mistakes. ✅ Aligning Teams for Success: Cross-functional collaboration is critical. Kate shares tips on breaking down silos between marketing, product, and development teams. ✅ Emerging Tech & Omnichannel: Instead of chasing the latest tech trends, Kate advises businesses to define their strategic goals first—then leverage AI, AR, and other innovations to enhance the customer experience. Quotes from the Episode: 💬 "Omnichannel isn’t just about being everywhere; it’s about creating seamless bridges between every touchpoint a customer interacts with." – Kate MacCabe 💬 "Companies that truly listen to their users—through qualitative and quantitative insights—are the ones that thrive in today’s competitive landscape." – Kate MacCabe Resources & Links: 🔗 Learn more about Flywheel Strategy 🔗 Connect with Kate MacCabe on LinkedIn 🔗 Explore UserTesting for customer insights for marketers…

Tune in to this episode where all 5 of our co-hosts launch into an open, judgement-free Q & A session about the complexities of queer culture and identity. Join us as we discuss everything from first crushes and queer relationships, to advice on coming out, to the intersectionality of what it really means to be "Gaysian." By the end of this episode, we hope you've learned something new about queer experiences and that you continue to be curious and supportive of all the LGBTQIA+ community members around you! **Please note that the term "ladyboy" is mentioned in this episode in reference to June Bellebono's essay 'Ladyboy' in Helena Lee's edited collection, 'East Side Voices'. The term is a commonly used English translation of the Thai term 'kathoey', which is used to inoffensively refer to those 'third gender' (queer and/or genderqueer, to our Western understanding) individuals who are widely accepted in Thai society due to their prominent historical (and present!) significance in Thai culture and entertainment. Though not intended to be transphobic or insulting, we recognise that as with most single-word translations, 'ladyboy' fails to encapsulate the complexity of the original term 'kathoey'.…
