Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Orlebar Brown: personalisation and unified commerce
Q: How has Shopify helped Orlebar Brown create a seamless omni-channel experience?
Jamie explained that one brain with two manifestations (stores and web) allows a single source of truth, enabling personalized customer journeys across touchpoints and reducing integration efforts.
Boosting loyalty with Frasers
Q: How has the Sports Direct membership program developed and connected online and offline, and what is the rationale behind a group-wide approach?
The membership started as a Sports Direct initiative and has grown to around five million members; the goal is to roll out standalone, brand-specific propositions for Flannels and Frasers within the financial year, and eventually create a unified group ecosystem that binds the brands together while maintaining brand-specific relevance for customers.
Passenger: tackling US tariffs
Q: What should other brands learn from Passenger's experience with tariffs and cross-border expansion?
Test markets first, run a spend-and-learn approach, and only scale when you see traction; keep inventories manageable and be prepared to switch to nearby, stable markets while preserving data, systems, and supplier relationships.
Mango's global ecommerce success
Q: What measures are you taking for cyber security and how does Mango stay secure as you grow internationally?
Cyber security is treated as a foundational, ongoing effort. We keep systems up to date, continuously improve defenses, and adapt security practices as we evolve functions and expand into new markets.
Mango's global ecommerce success
Q: How are you using AI at Mango and where will it go in fashion and retail?
AI is embedded across pricing, markdowns, customer interactions, and the Mango Stylist, which provides fashion recommendations. The approach is to give every team an AI-powered assistant to speed up tasks and improve the customer experience, with phased rollouts to more markets.
