Travel responsibly

/
For me, now that COVID-19 allows it, it's time to have a break and switch off from the daily routine for a bit. For all who are about to fly somewhere, make sure you would be considered as a pleasant travel companion [...]. Have a look to the stats, then have a great holiday! :)
New York Times - milk

Milk and sustainability

/
Milk is a widely consumed food. According to Clai, in 2020 in the EU-28 [the data still includes the UK] the annual consumption of animal-derived milk was almost 65kg per-capita, plus in recent years the so-called "plant alternatives" have also grown exponentially. But which "milk" is the most sustainable? Here are some data.
Statista - brand phishing

How to recognise phishing emails

/
Knowing how to recognise a legitimate email from a phishing email seems to have become a fundamental skill in terms of cybersecurity. No longer just focused on promising mind-boggling inheritance or lavish rewards for "innocent" requests, phishing emails are becoming more sophisticated and more accurate in reproducing the writing style and tone of voices of well-known brands impersonated by the sender. But how to spot them? Here are some data and some useful tips.
Statista - Bloomberg index

Where innovation is born

/
Where does innovation come from? Bloomberg annually publishes a ranking of the most innovative countries, those that can therefore be considered global leaders in research and development, patent activity, high-tech density and so on. Here is the 2021 ranking based on 2020 data.
Statista - turism recovery

We’ll travel again, just not yet

/
Few production sectors have been spared from the crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, but certainly no sector has been affected as much or as hard as tourism, in particular airlines. Even the beginning of 2021 was no time for optimism, thanks to the heavy travel restrictions still in force to try to curb the spread of new coronavirus variants. When will the sector recover? Here are some data and expert opinions.
Statista - women right to vote

Women and the right to vote

/
Today is International Women’s Day. I've developed the habit to write a post every year around this date stressing the absolute need to create a culture of respect and equality, a culture that values diversity. Today I'd like to highlight this concept again, this time remembering one of the bigger fundamental achievements women reached: the right to vote.
Leftyfretz - left handed

Unusual targets: the left-handers

/
More or less one in 10 people in the world is left-handed. Pursuing a more inclusive perspective with respect to the definition of targets for the positioning of brands, products and services, it would therefore be worth considering this market segment in one's brand strategy.
Statista - UK app

The apps one can’t live without in UK and USA

/
It could be our favourite social media, the messaging platform that lets us connect with friends and family members, or even one of the tools we use to stay up to date with our work, but almost every smartphone user has at least one app perceived as indispensable. Here are some data regarding the most important apps for Britons and Americans.
