Hampton Creek Founder Talks Squelched Investigation, Company Valuation and New Design
Hampton Creek’s packaging makeover may help the vegan products maker distance itself from controversial headlines and a pinch of government scrutiny.
In August, a Bloomberg story suggested the Just Mayo maker hired contractors who bought lots of the product off store shelves, dragging the company into the spotlight. A month later, Bloomberg Businessweek ran an in-depth expose. Those pieces were not the first to raise questions about Hampton Creek or its founder and CEO, Josh Tetrick. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department even looked into possible securities violations and criminal fraud, inquiries Tetrick announced in March had been dropped. He’s moving on.
“It’s hard to go through stuff in general without learning something,” Tetrick said when asked about those issues. “Things just worked themselves out.”

Forget Chucky. Today's Tech Toys Are Much Scarier (for Marketers)
They’re cute and fun, they answer “Why” questions with more patience than most parents, and they keep kids occupied for hours on end. But are tech toys a danger for kids?
As internet-connected products gain in popularity with both children and parents, toy marketers are grappling with the challenges of selling products that could be hacked, opening the door to privacy concerns and PR disasters.
“If you’re traditionally a toy company and now you’re adding this layer of connectedness, you’re wading into areas you know nothing about,” said Michele Martel, an attorney who runs consultancy Martel Media House. “You’re not a tech company, but you’ve become one because now you’re an Internet-of-Things company.”

Leslie Jones and Kyle Mooney see their relationship tested on 'SNL'

Leslie Jones didn’t just steal Kyle Mooney’s virginity; she also stole his heart.
When we last saw the Saturday Night Live couple it was early days for their relationship. There was some minor jealousy over Leslie’s close relationship with fellow cast member Colin Jost, but we were led to believe that the Jones/Mooney coupling would persevere.
It’s now six months later. Somehow, Leslie and Kyle have a school-aged kid named Lorne. Their relationship is still going, but there are issues. Leslie is busy while Kyle… isn’t. She’s also still alarmingly close …read more

Retail Fails: How Big Chains Plan to go From Bad to Better
The retail tailspin continued last week when big chains including Macy’s, Kohl’s and JC Penney reported first-quarter sales declines. On earnings calls, brands suggested better marketing would help reverse the slide. But analysts aren’t so sure and predict more store closures than the hundreds already announced.
“The problem with some of these stores is too much sameness the brands aren’t special enough,” said Oliver Chen, retail analyst at Cowen & Co. “These stores need to reinvent themselves.” He noted more personalized marketing, better products and radical changes to the store experience could help the situation.
Here’s what to expect later this year from America’s biggest retailers:

At Cannes, 8 Jury Presidents and 43.5% of Judges Are Women This Year
The number of female judges at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has doubled in the last five years to 43.5% for next month’s festival, and for the first time, eight of the 23 jury presidents will be women.
This has been a hot-button issue for years. Until 2014, just one in five Cannes judges were women, and there were only one or two female jury presidents each year.
Since then, the festival has introduced programs like See It Be It, which invites 15 future female creative leaders to the festival each year, and added the Glass Lions category in 2015 at the suggestion of Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and LeanIn.org to recognize work that promotes more equal gender representation. This year, the festival has agreed to caution jurors not to recognize work that reflects gender bias.
