In short, we put up barriers that solve for our companies instead of solving for our customers.
At HubSpot, we’re mid-way through transforming our go-to-market to be customer centric. Learn what’s worked for us, what hasn’t, and what we’re building.

Velocity 12: Reshaping the world view of middle-class growthS_HIFT
A new report that identifies 12 'velocity' markets that will be key to middle-class consumer growth over the next decade. With the BRIC index of markets having outlived its usefulness, Ogilvy's new ranking provides a fresh perspective on the future of global growth, and challenges some of the outdated notions about "emerging markets".
Ogilvy's V12 ranking goes beyond traditional economist and banking indices and is based upon measures of middle-class growth in terms of income, rather than assets, using a 'Purchasing Power Parity' (PPP) methodology, a measurement widely accepted by the IMF, the UN and the World Bank to equalize the purchasing power of different currencies. Critically, it also assessed markets based upon the velocity of growth and change - an increasingly important factor that some companies have grossly underestimated so far in their global growth plans.
The document discusses several retail trends for 2017 including the continued growth of e-commerce, the evolution of the in-store experience to be more focused on fulfillment, inspiration and frictionless transactions, the rise of conversational commerce through voice assistants, the impact of automation and robotics on jobs, and the need for agility at large retailers to keep up with innovation. It also touches on trends like the sharing economy, crowdsourcing, mobile payments, IoT, VR and blockchain. Additionally, it discusses changes in the role of the physical store, optimizing real estate footprints, increasing productivity and prioritizing leisure experiences downtown.

How retailers choose technology and how to get them to choose youFieldworks Marketing
1) The buying process for retailers has changed dramatically, with decisions now made by a wider range of stakeholders across different departments rather than just IT.
2) Retailers are more proactively seeking out and developing their own technology solutions through initiatives like digital labs and hackathons. They want more collaborative relationships with technology partners.
3) To succeed with retailers, vendors must have a deep understanding of the market and target prospects individually, developing relationships with both decision-makers and their influencers through personalized outreach. They must appeal to retailers emotionally in addition to providing rational benefits.

This year’s edition is a landmark publication for more reasons than one, as it marks 25 years of DFML and covers the first season (2020/21) to be impacted by COVID-19 from start to finish.
Welcome to a milestone edition of the Deloitte Football Money League (‘DFML’). Every year, DFML profiles the financial performance of the highest revenue generating clubs in world football. This year’s edition is a landmark publication for more reasons than one, as it marks 25 years of DFML and covers the first season (2020/21) to be impacted by COVID-19 from start to finish.
The document discusses key questions around the UK's public finances in light of the 2021 budget. It notes that while the economic outlook has improved, the pandemic will likely leave lasting scars and elevated public borrowing. The Chancellor has extended many COVID support measures but only announced limited tax rises. There is debate around whether now is the right time to tackle high debt levels, as growth is the priority, but consideration of fiscal sustainability is also important. Any future deficit reduction would likely rely more on tax rises than spending cuts due to public sentiment against austerity.
Rarely has there been more uncertainty regarding the course of the public finances over the next five years. In this note we aim to answer some of the big questions for the economy in light of the 2021 budget.

We estimate that those clubs in this year’s Money League will have missed out on over €2 billion of revenue across the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons. This is primarily driven by matchday revenue, due to the absence of fans, but also rebates to broadcasters and some commercial impacts as well as the lost potential to continue their previous growth trajectory over the period.
The document discusses the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on top football clubs in Europe. It estimates that clubs in the Deloitte Football Money League missed out on over €2 billion in revenue over the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons due to factors like the absence of fans at matches and rebates to broadcasters. Several clubs such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich saw commercial revenue increases through new sponsorship and merchandising deals, but matchday and broadcast revenue declined significantly without fans in stadiums. Overall, the pandemic had large negative financial impacts on Europe's biggest clubs in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.

The 2018/19 season saw English and European football reach new record levels of revenue generation. This snapshot of the peak before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also includes some warning signs for the challenges to come.
Generating record revenue of €841m, Barcelona reach the top of the Money League for the first time, becoming the first club to break the €800m barrier. Overall, the 20 highest earning football clubs in the world generated a record €9.3bn (2018: €8.3bn) of combined revenue in 2018/19, an increase of 11% on the previous year.
UK corporate environment - November 2019Deloitte UK
The document summarizes the UK corporate environment as of November 2019. It finds that (1) global and UK growth are expected to remain soft, weighing on corporate performance, (2) businesses are focusing on cost reduction and increasing cash flow given high uncertainty, and (3) while cash reserves are high, profits have been falling and risks remain from Brexit uncertainty and a potential global economic downturn.
1. The global economy is slowing down, with growth forecasts being reduced.
2. Trade tensions between the US and China have deepened the slowdown and impacted exports, manufacturing, and investment most significantly.
3. Central banks have responded with interest rate cuts and quantitative easing programs, supporting stock markets after an August sell-off.
The document summarizes the key messages about the UK corporate environment as of July 2019. It finds that:
1) Global growth is slowing, particularly in Europe, though UK growth is expected to be 1.2% in 2019 with Brexit risks remaining large.
2) Business investment is declining as uncertainty dampens investment, though household spending is holding up due to strong wage growth.
3) Operating costs are expected to rise due to tight labor markets and wage growth near 11-year highs, while commodity prices are up 12.5% year-to-date.
4) Corporates have the lowest risk appetite since 2008 and are focused on cost reduction and increasing cash flow to strengthen their balance sheets.
